A Jubilee line train fault left a train stuck between Westminster and Waterloo, trapping passengers during the evening peak. Power failure caused extended periods without updates and required checks by the driver. After an initial attempt to continue, the train stopped again, reversed toward Waterloo, then experienced a full electrical shutdown. One passenger recorded events and reported being charged a double fare of 16.25 by TfL due to the delays. Severe delays and a part-suspended service persisted the following morning between London Bridge and Green Park while engineers worked to restore normal service.
"After about 40 minutes, they tried to continue the journey towards Westminster, but the train stopped again and you could feel something was not right. "The driver repeated the same message about needing to check things. "Then they told us the train would reverse back to Waterloo instead of continuing forward but on the way back, the train broke down again and the electricity just shut off completely."
"We apologise to Jubilee line customers who were held on a faulty train yesterday evening and to those customers whose journeys have been disrupted by this incident, which involved the incident train and an additional faulty train. Engineers are working as quickly as possible to restore a good service on the line."
"For about an hour or more we had no updates at all, not even from the driver, because the power was out."
