Commuters were slowed by severe delays on the Northern line due to a signal failure this morning.

Services between High Barnet and Finchley Central were hit with severe delays and many passengers were forced to seek other modes of transport.

Normal service has since resumed but many commuters took to Twitter to vent their frustration earlier today.

Oliver Deed tweeted: “Time for fun and games getting into work as the Northern Line is part suspended and everyone is heading for the same alternative route.”
