Rush hour chaos on Piccadilly, Central, Waterloo & City lines

Commuters trying to get to work from West London faced a chaotic start to the day because of severe delays on the Piccadilly Line.  

The line was suffering from issues as far as Acton Town to Uxbridge this morning, because of a signalling failure at South Harrow, Transport for London said. 

Although it said there was a good service on the rest of the line, passengers complained that it was in "meltdown".

In addition, the Waterloo and City line was suffering from delays because of a faulty line. 

And commuters also complained that the Central Line was suffering delays, although there was nothing official from TfL.

There was no word on when the Tube network would be back up and running as normal.
