Tube: Severe delays on Victoria line of London Underground

An earlier faulty train at Kings Cross has sent trains into turmoil.

Due to the disruption please continue to avoid the line and use an alternative route where possible. Your London Underground tickets will be accepted by other TOCs https://t.co/1XGMhszOL4

A spokesman for Transport for London said: "London buses, London Overground, South Eastern, South Western, Great Northern accepting valid London Underground tickets via any reasonable route."

These delays had Twitter users confused and angry.

Delays aren't the only problem either.

There are also crowd control measures in place to prevent overcrowding.

People have been asked to use nearby stations or allow extra time to travel.
