London commuters are facing a hellish journey to work on Thursday with a Met Office warning for heavy rain lasting 28 hours.
The alert kicks in at 2am and only expires at 6am on Friday, with forecasters warning of possible flooding and travel delays.
There will also be a series of closures of the top section of the Edgware branch of the Northern line – between Golders Green and Edgware – between April and July to enable the work to be carried out.
The first of these closures will be immediately after the Easter bank holiday weekend, from Tuesday April 2 until Thursday April 11.
It comes as it was revealed that delays and overcrowding have plagued the Central Line nearly every day since Christmas, due to a shortage of trains.
