Central Line Suspended
The Central line is suspended between Liverpool Street and White City due to a casualty on the track, with severe delays affecting the rest of the line.
Emergency services were called to Notting Hill Gate Underground station at approximately 4:15 PM on March 12, 2026, following reports of a casualty on the tracks. A spokesperson for British Transport Police confirmed the timing of the incident, stating, “Officers were called at around 4.15pm today, Thursday, March 12, to reports of a casualty on the tracks at Notting Hill Gate Underground station.”
A person involved in the incident has been taken to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening or life-changing. The incident is not being treated as suspicious, according to authorities.
Passengers are advised to check live travel updates before setting off, as the disruption is expected to continue for some time. A spokesperson for Transport for London (TfL) noted, “No service between Liverpool Street and White City while emergency services deal with a casualty on the track.”
In light of the suspension, TfL is accepting tickets on alternative transport services, including London Buses, Chiltern Railways, Great Western Railway, and Greater Anglia services. Passengers may also consider using the Circle line or Hammersmith & City line, although this may require additional walking.
This incident has caused significant disruption on the Central line, which is a vital part of London’s public transport network. Observers note that such incidents, while unfortunate, are part of the challenges faced by urban transit systems.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full circumstances of the incident and any further implications for service restoration. Passengers are encouraged to remain patient as emergency services continue their work at the scene.
