Commuters face travel mayhem on part of the London<\/a> Underground<\/a> this morning after planned works didn\u2019t finish on time.<\/p>\n

The first rush hour after the bank holiday weekend is off to a sticky start for those travelling on the Elizabeth line<\/a> this morning. <\/p>\n

The line has severe delays between Heathrow<\/a> Terminals T4 and T5 and Paddington, and Reading and Abbey Wood due to the late finish of Network Rail engineering works. <\/p>\n

The rest of the line is experiencing minor delays. <\/p>\n

A commuter told Metro <\/strong>he arrived late at the office today because of the delays. <\/p>\n

He said the issues mean \u2018everything is now delayed and I\u2019ve had a rushed and stressful morning.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another passenger, who spends three hours commuting within London each day, said he was forced to take a different route to work on his lengthy commute from West Drayton to Greenwich this morning because of the Elizabeth line issues. <\/p>\n

He told Metro<\/strong>: \u2018Public transport in the outer boroughs is a joke. If it\u2019s not the trains giving me grief it\u2019s the buses. I despair on an almost daily basis.\u2019 <\/p>\n

One frustrated passenger took to X after the disruption: \u2018First day back to work after a bank holiday so naturally the Elizabeth line is up the spout.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Another commuter accused the line of having disruptions \u2018every other week.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018Can\u2019t they lower their expectations or something because this is ridiculous,\u2019 they said.<\/p>\n

When will Elizabeth line service resume to normal? <\/h2>\n
