“Unadulterated commuter hell”: Canary Wharf transport nightmare hits workers

Chaos as Jubilee Line goes down at Canary Wharf

There were scenes of chaos at Canary Wharf Tube station last night after severe delays hit the Jubilee line.

Commuters swarmed round the station as the delays and cancellations rendered the line unusable, following a fault with a train at Neasden.

According to the Evening Standard, the delays began at lunchtime after the faulty train was reported.

The Jubilee Line was then closed between Stanmore and Willesden Green, resulting in a knock-on effect on the rest of the network.

Unimpressed and distressed commuters published their outrage on Twitter.

Twitter user Mike Wright (@MikeJGWright) said it was “unadulterated commuter hell”.
