Monday transport misery

WHARFERS are facing long delays in getting to work today (Monday) with a part suspension on the Jubilee Line and problems on the DLR.

A signal failure at Swiss Cottage station prompted the closure of the Jubilee between Finchley Road and Waterloo, with services severely disrupted on the rest of the line.

Transport for London (TfL) has announced details of road closures and alterations to public transport on the day of the race.

Bus services on the Isle of Dogs and in south-east London will be subject to diversions and suspensions, some of which will take effect from 6.30am.

Affected routes include the D3, D7, D8, 100, 277, ELC and ELW. Passengers are advised to find alternative routes. Roads on the Isle of Dogs will close from 8am, reopening by 7pm.

tubefrontBOX.jpgTube bosses have admitted the performance of the Jubilee line has been at its worst since the extension to Canary Wharf opened in 1999.


Commuters heading to work on Tuesday morning (March 25) endured the total suspension of the line for an hour and a half, the latest in a string of rush-hour problems to have plagued the line since the New Year.

Penny Hazell, from Transport for London, is general manager of the Jubilee line and responsible for overseeing its performance. She spoke to The Wharf about the problems.
