Burned cables are evident beside the track which will impact upon services on Sunday 6th September.
The fire hit near the Elizabeth line depot at Old Oak Common leaving trains in various places out of position across the network. The exact location was near Scrubs Lane in North Kensington.
TfL stated severe disruption yesterday for the Elizabeth line from Paddington to Abbey Wood though in effect it appears zero trains ran from around 5pm until end of service.

The cause is under investigation. Check travel websites before heading out.
