Minor delays are also affecting the Hammersmith & City Line between Liverpool Street and Barking after an earlier signal failure at Moorgate, though a good service is running on the rest of the line.
The Metropolitan Line was also running with minor delays between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate following the issues at Moorgate, but the line is now running a good service.
A good service is running on the rest of the line.

The trains were meant to have arrived last spring but were then delayed until summer, then promised for November – another blown deadline.
