Power failure knocks out London's train lines.
Jess Weatherbed
The disruption reportedly stems from an outage that started in south-west London at about 2:30PM local time, according to the BBC, but there's no word on what caused the failure. Travel is suspended across the Bakerloo and Waterloo & City lines, and partially suspended across the Elizabeth and Jubilee lines.
The Transport for London website is tracking the situation but also seems to be experiencing its own issues, with pages struggling to load or crashing entirely.
