TfL Elizabeth line delays: Morning service hit due to a faulty train at Paddington

The Elizabeth line is suffering delays this morning (October 20) due to a faulty train.

Transport for London (TfL) is reporting the delays between Abbey Wood and Hayes & Harlington, after encountering issues with a train at Paddington. 

TfL is recording a good service on the rest of the line.

The Elizabeth line last month smashed its record for its most successful day since opening in May 2022, with 783,000 journeys recorded on September 28.

LondonWorld reported last month how, in the four weeks to August 19, Office of Rail and Road figures reported a total of 9.1% of services on the Elizabeth line did not run. The latest data, covering the subsequent four weeks, however indicates this figure improved greatly, with 4.3% of services not running.
