COMMUTERS face a difficult journey to some parts of London this morning (Tuesday) after suspensions and delays hit services on five tube lines.

Severe delays have been reported on the Circle Line due to signal failures at Farringdon and Paddington.

From Monday February 8 to Friday February 19 engineering works planned for the line have also been revised - with all trains to and from Aldgate now stopping at Baker Street in both directions.

Services on the District, Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan lines are part suspended at present.

The District Line is suspended from Edgware Road and High Street Kensington because of a signal failure at Paddington.

The Hammersmith and City line is suspended between Hammersmith and Edgware Road due to emergency engineering work at Paddington.

Severe delays are affecting services on the rest of the line.

The Metropolitan Line is suspended between Baker Street and Aldgate because of a signal failure at Farringdon.

Minor delays are curently affecting services on the Bakerloo line due to signal failure at Elephant & Castle.

Good services are operating on all other lines.
