Heavy rain causes Tube closures

Heavy rain throughout the night caused travel problems for many commuters on Thursday morning.

Several Tube stations were closed and some roads were affected, including the M11, the A3 in Wandsworth and the West Cross route in Shepherds Bush.

Tooting Bec station on the Northern Line has now re-opened but Fulham Broadway has "reduced facilities".

Several Tube stations had to close on 3 August due to torrential downpours lasting several hours.
