Multiple lines are suspended and some stations are closing pic.twitter.com/RhgPcfG9vm — Stephanie Bennett (@StephBennettTV) May 12, 2025 Per BBC: Transport for London (TfL) said the issues had been caused by a power outage in south-west London which happened at about 14:30 BST. Power has since been restored, but delays and line suspensions are ongoing. Separately, the entire Suffragette line on London Overground is suspended due to a fire alert. Waterloo station is among the worst affected stations, as it is usually served by Jubilee, Northern and Bakerloo line trains. Earlier, the Northern and Jubilee lines were part suspended, as was the Elizabeth line. The Northern line currently has minor delays. The Transport for London (TfL) website also appears to be suffering from intermittent issues with some travel advice pages not loading. A spokesperson for TfL said the outage was a result of a National Grid issue, which had shut down everything for a matter of minutes. He said: “When the power goes out the trains will have stopped. We’ve cleared some stations. Because there’s no electricity it might not necessarily be safe for them to be open.” TfL says it is in the process of getting things back up and running. The widespread disruptions in London follow a mass power outage in Spain, Portugal, and several other European countries. Massive Blackouts Reported In Europe
