The entire London Underground is down after a massive power failure on the network, a TfL source told Metro.

Tube lines have been suspended due to the power cut, and there are severe delays on other parts of the system.

The Bakerloo line, Waterloo and City line Suffragette line, which goes from Gospel Oak to Barking across north east London, have all been suspended.

The power outage has caused the Elizabeth Line, Jubilee Line and Northern Line to be part suspended, and they are all suffering severe delays.
