People in London to pay their respects to the late Queen are facing severe disruption on London Underground services. Transport for London said the issues are caused by 'power supply problems'
It means no trains are running on the entire Victoria line. The Piccadilly line is suspended between Hyde Park Corner and Cockfosters, with severe delays on the rest of the line.
Tube stations were evacuated and closed due to the problem. The disruption comes as TfL is warning that some of its services will be busier than normal with many people visiting London to pay their respects and attend ceremonial and commemorative events following the death of the Queen.
King Charles III and the Queen Consort are today due to visit Westminster Hall in London where both Houses of Parliament will express condolences to the new monarch. Later on Monday, Charles and Camilla will fly to Edinburgh where they will attend a Ceremony of the Keys and the King will inspect the guard of honour.
Charles will then lead the royal family in procession as the Queen’s coffin is taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to nearby St Giles’ Cathedral for a service of thanksgiving. Members of the public will be able to view the coffin at the cathedral and pay their respects from 5pm for a period of 24 hours.
The King will then hold audiences with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Alison Johnstone, the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament. Later in the evening, the King and other members of the royal family will mount a vigil at the cathedral in honour of their mother.
