Hundreds of passengers faced delays as Canary Wharf station closed due to a fire alert. Temperatures in the station exceeded 24C as the hottest day, reaching 33.3C in the capital.
Transport for London acknowledged the closure of the station and announced severe delays on parts of the Central Line due to train cancellations, caused by chronic train shortages since November.
TfL acknowledged funding challenges requiring patching up 30-year-old Central line trains rather than replacing them, aiming to extend their serviceability for another 10 to 15 years.
Signal failures at Richmond impacted the District Line and London Overground, leading to service suspensions between South Acton-Richmond on the Overground and Turnham Green-Richmond on the District Line.
