Entire Central Line to be shut down from 6pm tonight due to staff shortage


The entire Central Line in London will be shut from 6pm this evening, 21 July, due to a shortage of staff.

The key tube line, which runs across London from Ealing Broadway in the west to Epping in the north east, will grind to a halt during rush hour, leaving many commuters struggling to get home.

Londoners are being advised to complete their journeys early where possible.

In a message shared on social media, TfL tells passengers that “the Central line will close early due to staffing issues in the control room, caused by sickness.

“Complete journeys from central London by 17.30. After that no trains will run on most of the line, except a shuttle service between Leytonstone and Epping/Hainault until the end of the day.”
