London's transportation network is facing a series of disruptions, with the Blackwall and Rotherhithe tunnels experiencing significant congestion due to technical issues with traffic cameras. This has resulted in severe delays for commuters, particularly those traveling through Greenwich and Poplar. But here's where it gets controversial: while the AA reports delays in the Blackwall Tunnel, some commuters are finding alternative routes, which may lead to further congestion in other areas.
The Hanger Lane Tunnel has reopened, easing some congestion, but the tailbacks are still extending to the M25. The A312 is also experiencing slow traffic on its approach to the A40, and the A406 Southbound is slow on its approach with tailbacks to Neasden. Northbound traffic on the A406 North Circular Road is slow on its approach from Popes Lane, and Westbound traffic is slow on the A40 Western Avenue from Savoy Circus.
Additionally, the West Ealing Railway station is set to close early at 22:52 each evening, with the last trains calling at 22:35 and 22:50. The Metropolitan line is also partially closed due to a track fault at Baker Street, and trains running between Eastbourne and Hampden Park may be delayed by up to 15 minutes, canceled, or revised due to a signaling system fault in the Hampden Park area.
The Rotherhithe Tunnel remains closed, causing congestion on the A13 from Poplar, while traffic from Jamaica Road is being diverted into the city via Bermondsey. The Acton Main Rail station will also close early at 22:47 each evening, and residual disruption is expected at Southampton Central until 1 pm due to a speed restriction over defective track.
These disruptions are causing significant delays and congestion in various parts of London, and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly. The situation is dynamic, and further updates will be provided as they become available. Stay tuned for the latest information on these travel disruptions.
