Severe delays on both the Circle and District Lines are still causing havoc for commuters, after a signal failure at South Kensington station this morning.

Rush hour commuters faced travel disruption earlierwith severe delays along the entire District Line, and no service at all in the clockwise direction on the Circle Line, with severe delays going anti-clockwise – and services are still not back to normal on either line.

Passengers took to social media to complain.

So the district line is not fun this morning…
