A power failure saw Elizabeth line trains between Paddington station and Abbey Wood in south east London cancelled on Tuesday morning.

National Rail warned no trains would run between the two stations until about 8am, while other services will also be affected. Shortly after 8am the line was confirmed to have reopened but disruption was expected until 9.15am.

The Network rail website said: “A failure of electricity supply between London Paddington and Abbey Wood means trains are currently unable to run between these stations.

“Trains between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport / Reading and between London Liverpool Street and Shenfield may also be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes.”

The issue is thought to have been discovered shortly before the first trains of the day, with the Network Rail website listing it at 5.32am.

There is also reported to be delays on the Jubilee Line.

Customers are able to use tickets on local buses and the Underground.
