Jubilee line part suspended to Stanmore after fire alert

Updated at 08:30: there is no Jubilee line service between Wembley Park and Stanmore while TfL responds to a fire alert at Stanmore, and Underground tickets are being accepted on London Buses. The District line, by contrast, is back to normal. The Windrush line shuts after 23:15 tonight.

Updated at 08:30. The picture has changed: the District line is back to normal, but the Jubilee line to Stanmore is down — that is the main problem of the morning. The morning section is rewritten; the evening part is unchanged.

This morning: what to avoid

Jubilee line: no service between Wembley Park and Stanmore, while TfL responds to a fire alert at Stanmore. Stanmore, Canons Park, Queensbury and Kingsbury have no trains, with minor delays on the rest of the line. Note that Underground tickets are being accepted on London Buses, so a bus to the working part of the line costs nothing extra. The Metropolitan line also serves Wembley Park.

Central line: minor delays between White City and Ealing Broadway / West Ruislip and between Leytonstone and Epping / Hainault via Newbury Park, due to train cancellations. A good service elsewhere.

The District line has recovered. The delays between Earl’s Court and Wimbledon we reported at seven have been lifted — Wimbledon is back to normal.

Croydon trams. No eastbound service Wandle Park to Centrale and no westbound service Church Street to Wandle Park, all day. This planned work runs through Wednesday 7 October: between West Croydon and Wandle Park, plan on walking or a bus.

That is all for the morning: the rest of the Tube, the Elizabeth line, the DLR and the Overground are running normally.

Tonight and the journey home

After 23:15 tonight the Windrush line (the former East London line) closes between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction / Battersea Park. No replacement buses will run at all — TfL asks passengers to use local buses and Underground instead. Heading south-west late, route yourself via Victoria or Clapham Junction on National Rail.

On the Mildmay line (the former North London line), the 22:29 from Stratford to Richmond terminates at Camden Road, arriving 22:49. That applies every evening through Thursday 8 October.

Bigger closures are confirmed for the weekend of 10-11 October: no Circle line between Edgware Road and Aldgate via Victoria; no District line from Edgware Road and Tower Hill to Ealing Broadway, Kensington (Olympia), Richmond and Wimbledon, with replacement buses and the Mildmay line covering Gunnersbury, Kew Gardens and Richmond; and no DLR between Stratford International and Woolwich Arsenal, where the Elizabeth line is the better option.

What to do

Heading for the north-western end of the Jubilee line? Go via Wembley Park: trains run that far, and ticket acceptance on buses makes the connection free. Everyone else is fine. For what else is closing this month, see our guide to Tube closures in October.

The picture changes through the day: check live line status right now — TfL data, refreshed every two minutes.
