London Underground services have been severely disrupted, with more stations closed and others evacuated by security scares.

The Victoria and Northern lines, two of the busiest on the system, were suspended following the shooting of a man by police at Stockwell Tube station.

No services ran between Victoria and Brixton on the Victoria line and between Kennington and Morden on the Northern line after the suspension at 10.42am.

Services later resumed on the Victoria line, but Tubes were not stopping at Stockwell Station, which remained closed at lunchtime.

The situation now is:

:: Bakerloo - delays
:: Central - normal service.
:: Circle - no service in both directions - (suspended since July 7).
:: District - suspended between Edgware Road and High Street Kensington since two weeks ago.
:: East London - normal service.
:: Hammersmith & City - suspended.
:: Jubilee - normal service.
:: Metropolitan - suspended between Moorgate and Aldgate
:: Northern - no service between Morden and Kennington.
:: Victoria - delays both directions
:: Piccadilly - no service between Uxbridge and Rayners Lane and between Hyde Park Corner and
Arnos Grove.
:: Waterloo & City - normal service.

A series of security scares disrupted services on the underground, including two incidents at Kennington.

Midland Mainline train services are running normally following disruption on Thursday because of a suspicious package near St Albans train station.
