During regular and routine inspections, TfL have identified a fault with some of the wheels on a number of Metropolitan line trains. Safety has to be the number one priority top priority and as a precautionary measure TfL have increased the rate of inspection of these trains to make detailed checks of the entire fleet.
A new timetable has been introduced on the Metropolitan line to ensure TfL can continue to run as frequent and regular a timetable as possible while the inspections take place and engineers resolve the fault. The details of this timetable are provided below and TfL are working as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.
TfL have begun notifying customers of the changes via direct email, at stations, and all journey planning tools are being updated. All customers are being asked to check before they travel.
