Londoners are facing travel headaches this lunchtime after a points failure wreaked havoc on four separate lines.

The Circle and Hammersmith & City lines are both entirely suspended because of the issue at Edgware Road station.

There are also severe delays on the Metropolitan line, while the District line is part-suspended for the same reason.
