Fault shuts part of Metropolitan line for a week

A section of the Metropolitan line affected by a track fault will remain closed until 9 November, Transport for London (TfL) has said.

The problem with the line is at Baker Street and the services between there and Aldgate are being suspended for the week to ease pressure on the line while engineers work on the issue.

Minor delays are expected on the rest of the line. TfL suggested passengers change at Baker Street for Bakerloo, Circle and Hammersmith & City line services, or use the Jubilee line from either Finchley Road or Baker Street.

Travellers are also advised to allow more time and use the TfL journey planner.
