The entire Jubilee line on the London Underground has been suspended due to a power outage.

The power failure caused trains to stop running just before 10am on Thursday 26 April, and they were still not running at the time of writing five hours later.

TfL are working to resolve the problem but could not confirm when the line would be operational again.

“We’re hoping it will be sooner rather than later, but we don’t have a specific time frame I’m afraid,” a Tfl spokesperson told The Independent.

“We apologise for the disruption caused by the power failure on the Jubilee line this morning.

“Our engineers are working to resolve this issue and to restore a normal service as quickly as possible.”

According to the TfL website, London buses, London Overground, Thameslink, DLR, C2C and Southeastern services will be accepting valid London Underground tickets via any reasonable routes in the meantime.
