Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Rail passengers endured severe disruption today as emergency services dealt with what is believed to be a passenger suicide at a major station.
The incident caused delays in and out of London's Waterloo station, with some trains beginning and terminating at Clapham Junction.
Delays were expected to last until 11am.
There was also disruption to services run by National Express East Anglia due to a signalling fault between Cambridge and Stowmarket, while First Capital Connect trains were delayed by a signal problem at Cuffley in Hertfordshire.
Tube travellers also had disrupted journeys. Flooding meant that District and Circle line services were unable to operate at Victoria station.
A faulty train at Great Portland Street led to delays to Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City line services.
There was also a faulty train at Mile End which caused disruption on the Central line.
Later it was announced that delays in and out of Waterloo, which were extending to 60 minutes, would last until around 1pm.
