Severe rush hour delays in London with train and Tube lines suspended

Commuters heading into London this morning are facing delays after Southern Rail services were suspended 'until further notice'. The suspension affects trains running between East Croydon and Clapham Junction into Watford Junction. It's also impacting London Overground trains between Stratford and Willesden Junction into Clapham Junction. Passengers are facing half-hour delays on top of their normal journey time as they're asked to use an alternative route. The problem has been caused by a fault with the signalling system, and National Rail warn trains running between the above stations could be cancelled or revised. Describing the incident, National Rail said: 'This part of the network uses track circuits to detect trains. If a circuit fails, the system may think a train is still there, blocking others from moving forward. 'Drivers must stop at red signals and get verbal permission to proceed at a reduced speed, which can cause significant delays, especially in areas with long track sections. More Trending 'In this case, Southern are unable to run services through the area in order to allow Network Rail teams access to the route to rectify the issue.' Unfortunately the problems don't end there, with several London Underground lines also facing delays. The Circle line is fully suspended, and the Hammersmith & City and Mildmay lines are part suspended this morning. Meanwhile, the Bakerloo, Hammersmith & City and District lines are experiencing severe delays, while the DLR, Central and Elizabeth lines are facing minor delays. Got a story?

From designer dresses to dazzling hatinators - Oban's glam new fashion haven

Forget digging through rails of fast fashion – a glamorous new boutique in the heart of Oban is serving up pre-loved fashion with a five-star twist. Time and Again Boutique, which opened this week at 4 MacGregor Court, opposite The Royal Hotel, is the creation of local businesswoman Jackie Kerr – and it's been two years in the planning. Inside, you'll find designer labels, quality occasionwear, handbags that make you stop and stare… and yes, even the odd hatinator for that perfect wedding or race day look. She even stocks shoes that are nearly always brand new or only worn once. 'It's not just a shop, it's an experience,' Jackie said. 'I wanted to create somewhere people feel special the moment they walk in.' Jackie has been working on the concept and upmarket design for two years, aiming to give customers and sellers alike a five-star experience. 'I wanted to do something a bit different,' she said. 'This is more than selling clothes – it's about creating a space where people feel special and where quality items get the showcase they deserve.' The shop works on a clothing agency model: people bring in high-quality new or almost-new garments, and the boutique sells them on their behalf to maximise returns. Jackie says most items are either unworn or have been worn 'very carefully' once. 'We're not selling fast fashion,' she said. 'These are special pieces that last – dresses for weddings or occasions, beautiful handbags, quality coats. And by buying here, you're not adding to the fast-fashion burden.' She is even considering bridal wear if the right items are offered to the agency. Demand from sellers has been so high that Jackie has temporarily paused accepting new stock. She asks anyone interested in selling to send her photos first via Facebook, adding that she prefers items with labels still on or that have been worn very sparingly. Tourists and locals have already been through the doors, many impressed by the boutique's decor and attention to detail. 'When people walk in, they're blown away,' Jackie said. 'They feel like they've arrived somewhere special.' Customer service is central to Jackie's approach. Before moving to Oban a decade ago, she ran a specialist teddy bear shop in Helensburgh and before that worked as a training manager for the Automobile Association. 'I know how important it is to make people feel looked after,' she said. The agency is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm and on Saturdays until 4pm. 'This is a shop for people,' Jackie said. 'When they find that piece that's just for them, it's a wonderful experience. 'That's what I wanted to create in Oban – somewhere people can buy beautiful clothes at a reasonable price, in surroundings that make them feel special.'
