District line part suspended after Ealing Broadway train derailment

Part of the District line is still suspended this morning after a train derailed at Ealing Broadway last night.

There is currently no service between the station and Acton Town following the incident, which involved a train carrying a small number of passengers.

Steve White, Operations Director for the District line, said: "Following a signal failure towards the end of service last night, a District line train approaching Ealing Broadway station subsequently became derailed as it crossed a set of points.

"No one was injured in this incident and our engineers are working closely with the Rail Accident Investigation Branch on site to investigate."

Transport for London said Piccadilly line trains will still serve Ealing Common station and there is a good service on the rest of the District line.

London buses and Great Western trains are accepting Underground tickets.

Rush-hour commuters have been warned to expect long delays on the Bakerloo line after signal failure at Oxford Circus.

Minor disruption was initially reported between Elephant and Castle and Queen's Park just before 7am, but Transport for London said in an update the delays had become "severe".
