The flood mainly affected the south-west part of London. This morning, some lines are restored, especially the main ones despite the fact they’re running with limited train numbers.

Circle line is suspended, while Hammersmith & City and London Overground is partly suspended. Greater Anglia has minor delays; and South Western Railway and Thameslink reported disruptions.

In addition, the line between Kilburn Junction and Euston remains blocked. Therefore the suggestion is for everyone to check their itinerary before traveling.
