Commuters are facing rush hour chaos on the Tube after a wave of suspensions and severe delays on numerous London Underground lines.

The Circle,Hammersmith & City,Metropolitan,District,Piccadilly and Weaver lines are all suffering severe delays.

The Bakerloo and District lines are all partly suspended,while the Central and Victoria lines face minor delays.

The issue appears to be stemming from a points failure at Aldgate,a signal failure at Liverpool Street as well as faulty trains at Fulham Broadway and Finsbury Park.

Transport For London says there was also an ‘operational incident’ at a Bakerloo line depot.
