London commuters faced chaos this morning as Docklands Light Railway (DLR) announced that there were no services running on any route due to a signalling failure.

The signalling failure occurred at West India Quay and forced DLR to suspend all services as engineers worked to solve the problem.

DLR tweeted its apologies and provided a link to TfL’s Tube & DLR delays page, where passengers can claim compensation if their train was delayed by more than 15 minutes.

It also announced that the London Underground would accept any valid DLR tickets on all reasonable routes.

The problem started this morning at about 7am. Some routes resumed with severe delays before the entire service was again suspended at about nine.
