Furious commuters faced rush-hour chaos after a faulty train caused a major Tube line to grind to a halt.

Severe delays were reported across the entire Piccadilly line on Monday evening due to the faulty train at Manor House.

There was no service between Arnos Grove and Kings Cross while engineers worked to fix the train.

Angry commuters took to social media to vent their frustration as they tried to make their way home while pictures emerged of crowds gathered outside busy stations.

One Twitter user said: "Fix up. a journey that’s supposed to take 30mins has taken over an hour today."

Another added: "When are you going to fix this line? It’s always breaking!"

One angry commuter said: "The whole Piccadilly line service is appalling, faulty trains one day signal failure another, you leave enough time to travel but I guess infinity to travel a 40 min journey is not long enough is it."

And another said: "When was the last week that the Piccadilly Line didn’t have some sort of problem? Because I can’t remember..."

Meanwhile crowds were pictured gathered outside Holborn station as stations became overrun as a result of the delays.

The Met Police confirmed a woman was hit by a bus outside the station after she "slipped" in the road.

A spokesman said: "Police were called to the Kingsway, just outside Holborn Station, at 6.36pm on Monday following reports of a road traffic collision.

"A female, believed to be aged in her 20s, is believed to have been in a collision with a bus.

"She has been conveyed to a west London hospital with non life-threatening or life-changing injuries.

"Road closures have been put in place. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.

"No arrests have been made an enquiries continue."

TfL said that tickets are being accepted on Great Northern, Heathrow Connect until 8pm and London buses as a result of the Tube delays.
