London travel news LIVE: Casualty on track causes major disruption on Tube lines

British Transport Police (BTP) have confirmed that a person has died after being found on the track near Sloane Square at around 7.45am.

A spokesperson for the force said: "Enquiries are ongoing into the circumstances leading up to their death."

The Circle Line, the District Line and the Hammersmith and City line are all experiencing severe delays after reopening from full closure or part-closure following the incident.

Separately the Windrush line has now partially reopened with severe delays following the huge fire at a waste facility in Deptford last night.

The District line is currently operating with severe delays between Upminster and Tower Hill due to an earlier incident, TfL has said.

Tickets are being accepted on London Buses, DLR, Elizabeth line, Liberty line, C2C and South Western Railway.

A points failure is blocking some lines between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminals & Reading.

The disruption is expected to last until the end of the day, with a number of cancellations and delays.

This will affect Great Western Railway trains to and from London Paddington, as well as Heathrow Express services.

The Circle line is now running in both directions, with severe delays on the whole line.

There are also still severe delays on the District and Hammersmith & City lines following the casualty on the tracks at Sloane Square this morning.

There are minor delays on the Central line, and both the Windrush and Suffragette lines are still part suspended.

The Suffragette line has now partly reopened following the earlier faulty train at Leyton Midland Road.

There is still no service between South Tottenham and Barking Riverside, but the rest of the line is now open with severe delays.
