Here’s why
Commuters travelling home Monday evening are facing long delays as three tube lines are shut down.
Aldgate station suffered a signal failure around 5pm and commuters travelling on the Metropolitan, Hammersmith City and Circle lines were left stranded.
The Piccadilly line had a problem at Hammersmith station due to a signalling problem.
Bemused passengers took to Twitter:
@Tfl hi. Are any tubes running westbound from Moorgate towards Paddington?

Around 6pm the Cirlce line reopened and Transport for London have apologised to passengers.
Chaos at Aldgate East. Dangerous overcrowding and @tfl just let the people keep on pouring in.
