Transport for London says there is no Suffragette line service between South Tottenham and Barking Riverside because of an operational incident, with minor delays on the rest of the line. Crouch Hill sits on that remainder of the route, so it is not in the suspended section, but anyone travelling through to the east should expect trouble.
TfL says disruption is expected until the end of the week, and the closure is listed as valid to 31 October. London Underground and London Buses are accepting Overground tickets via any reasonable route.
With no clear end to the suspension, anyone using the line to cross north-east London should allow extra time, or plan an alternative, for the rest of the week.
