A death on the Piccadilly line and signal failures in Kennington and Earls Court have led to severe disruption on three major Tube lines.
The British Transport Police (BTP) confirmed a man was hit and killed by a train at Hounslow Central Underground Station at around 10.15am this morning.
The BTP said the man died at the scene. His death is not believed to be suspicious.
From today: UPDATE: Person dies after being hit by train at Hounslow Central as trains to Heathrow Airport delayed
The Piccadilly line was closed between Northfields and Heathrow, but is now running again with severe delays.
Severe delays are also still being experienced on the Northern line, after the whole line was brought to a standstill by a signalling failure in Kennington.
From today: Northern Line: No service from Edgware to Morden and severe delays after signal failure at Kennington
The service went down at approximately 9am this morning and began running again at about 12.45pm.
Wow the Northern Line is testing my soul today 😪

Travelling today? Avoid the Northern Line, where I've spent the last 30 or so minutes & gone travelled from Colliers Wood to Balham.

@northernline Thank you Northern Line, your appalling system has just lost my company £3,000.00 today.

Took 25 minutes to travel two stops from Barons Court to Earls Court. Thank you, District Line - truly the Southern Rail of the underground
