There are severe delays in South London this morning after several signal failures. 

There is currently no service between Gunnersbury and Richmond on the London Overground, and severe delays between Stratford and Gunnersbury / Clapham Junction follow a power failure to the signal box.

Severe delays were first reported at around 5.50am this morning, and the route was closed just after 8am.

The District Line was closed before 7am this morning between Earl's Court and Wimbledon after a signal failure at Fulham Broadway.

Services resumed at around 8am but with severe delays to trains.

The District Line twitter account said delays were now minor at 8.40am.
