WIMBLEDON fans face travel chaos after Transport for London issued a “severe” warning on Tuesday.
A fire alert at Southfields – the nearest Underground station to the All England Club grounds – saw the District Line grind to a halt.
The worrying update was shared midway through day two’s exciting action in SW19, as temperatures reached a staggering 34C.
And TFL warned fans should expect “severe delays” with “no service” on a huge chunk of Tube track.
A TFL statement read: “No service between Parsons Green and Wimbledon and SEVERE DELAYS between Edgware Road and Parsons Green while we respond to a fire alert at Southfields.”
There’s also an issue further up the District Line, which could prevent some fans getting to or leaving the grounds.
The update continued: “NO SERVICE between Turnham Green and Richmond while Network Rail fix a signal failure at Gunnersbury.”
