A signal failure is causing further misery for people on the Northern Line hours after a “chaotic” morning on the Tube in Barnet.
Transport for London suspended services between Archway and High Barnet or Mill Hill East due to the signalling issue at West Finchley.
Services have since been resumed but there are severe delays between Camden and High Barnet or Mill Hill East.
The latest complication comes hours after more than 1,000 people were reportedly left stranded at East Finchley station due to rush hour delays.
TfL blamed a faulty train at Finchley Central for the problem, which left many commuters seeking alternative routes to work and school.
The line had returned to a good service but is now experiencing further delays.
