New measures are being introduced across London's transport network in response to the worsening coronavirus outbreak.

A partial shutdown of the London Underground is beginning today - and up to 40 stations that do not interchange with other lines are going to be closed "until further notice".

As the morning rush hour began, several other stations were closed owing to "operational restrictions".

he Waterloo and City line is going to shut completely from Friday, and Night Tube services that normally run on Friday and Saturday nights are being suspended.

Transport for London (TfL) is also planning to reduce the frequency of services across its network from Monday "to provide a service for critical workers to get where they need to".

The Tube, London Overground, TfL Rail, the DLR and London trams will all be affected by this reduction in service.

Late services will continue to run for "essential journeys" on both the Tube and Overground - with bus services continuing through the night.
