Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Passengers on a key cross-London rail route will face disruption for the rest of the week following overhead wire problems.
The difficulty, at the London Overground station at Camden Road, means trains between Highbury & Islington and Gospel Oak are currently suspended.
This suspension is expected to last until next Monday and until then there will be also other changes on this section of the line.
These include an amended, shuttle, service between Stratford and Highbury & Islington and between Gospel Oak and Willesden Junction/Clapham Junction.
Passengers travelling between Gospel Oak and Richmond will need to change trains at Willesden Junction. Journey times may be extended by up to 30 minutes.
Another problem affecting rail travel today was on services run by the London Midland and Virgin Trains companies and was due to safety checks on the line near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
This led to delays between Rugby in the West Midlands and Watford Junction in Hertfordshire.
And in Cornwall today, taxis had to replace trains between Liskeard and Looe due to a signalling problem.
