Central line incident causes service suspension

Central line suspended due to track incident

The Central line is currently suspended between Liverpool Street and White City following a casualty on the track, leading to significant delays across the entire line.

Emergency services were alerted to the situation at Notting Hill Gate Underground station at approximately 4:15 PM. A spokesperson for British Transport Police confirmed, “Officers were called at around 4.15pm today, Thursday, March 12, to reports of a casualty on the tracks at Notting Hill Gate Underground station.”

A person involved in the incident has been transported to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening or life-changing. Authorities have stated that the incident is not being treated as suspicious.

In light of the disruption, Transport for London (TfL) has advised passengers to check live travel updates before setting off. A TfL spokesperson noted, “No service between Liverpool Street and White City while emergency services deal with a casualty on the track.”

To mitigate the impact of the suspension, TfL is accepting tickets on alternative transport options, including London Buses, Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railway, and Greater Anglia services. Passengers are also encouraged to consider using the Circle line or Hammersmith & City line, although this may require additional walking.

This incident is part of a broader trend of service disruptions affecting the Central line, which has seen various interruptions in recent months due to emergencies and maintenance work.

As the situation develops, further updates are expected from TfL and emergency services. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the delays and any additional measures that may be implemented to assist affected passengers.
