It's almost the weekend  - here's your penultimate update to get you through the commute.

Weather

It's going to be fairly overcast today, with highs of 20C and only a little bit of sun peeping through the clouds at around 11am.

Tube and train

On the London Underground there are minor delays on the District line between Barking and Upminster and between Ealing Broadway / Richmond and Earl's Court due to a signal failure at Hammersmith. 

London Midland,  East Midlands, Network Rail and Thameslink are all running with a good service.

Engineering work at London Bridge may cause problems for Thameslink users, so  check regularly to ensure there have been no changes to your route.

Traffic

There are queues on the A1 southbound at Potters Bar, close to the M25 junction, and further queues coming into Stirling Corner at Barnet Bypass.

There are delays on the North Circular Road westbound in Brent Cross, Finchley and further around at A406 Pinkham Way in Southgate.

Some short delays are plaguing the M25 anticlockwise between junction 20 and junction 18 for A404 Rickmansworth Road, but these are easing at present.
