Traffic

The M1 is characteristically slow going past Chigwell.

Up from Thornwood and the M11/Epping Road junction is also not moving as quickly as it could.

South of Stratford a lane is blocked on the exit ramp due to accident on the A12 Blackwall Tunnel Northern. Lane two is blocked on the exit slip road..

In the north of London two lanes blocked and traffic queuing due to flooding on Western Avenue Westbound between Leamington Park and Hanger Lane. Lanes one and two remain blocked. There is significant flooding across the carriageway on approach to Park Royal station. The cause of the flooding has not yet been determined.

Tube

Overground: After a vehicle crashed into a bridge in Peckham Rye causing big delays yesterday, today there is no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction due to a faulty train at Queens Road Peckham.

Piccadilly: As on Tuesday, the line is experiencing severe delays between Acton Town and Uxbridge due to a signal failure at Acton Town. Tickets are being accepted on local buses.

A good service is running on all other lines.

Weather

A real mixed bag. Early morning dampness should make way for an overcast day with intermittent spells of sun. Come the evening however, and a fine sheet of May drizzle will coat the capital. Rainbows remain possible.
