Rail passengers face early-morning disruption on the Overground’s Lioness line between Watford Junction and London Euston due to an issue at Wembley Central.
According to TfL, Network Rail workers are having to remove an obstruction from a bridge.
Operators say trains may be cancelled or may terminate early at Willesden Junction while checks are carried out on the track. The disruption affects all services running through the Wembley Central area.
The situation is expected to continue until 10.30am, and passengers are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to check live travel updates before setting off.
