Services face 20 minute delays, cancellations, and revisions to timetables. Disruption is expected to last until 6pm, impacting the rush hour in and out of London. Meanwhile, most of the Piccadilly line continues to have minor delays due to a shortage of train for the fourth day. The section between Rayners Lane and Uxbridge on the Piccadilly line has been suspended for weeks due to leaf fall causing difficult track conditions and damage.
