District line delays: Chelsea fans struggle to get to FA Cup tie as two major Tube lines grind to halt

Chelsea fans vented their frustration as two major Tube lines ground to a halt ahead of their FA Cup tie against Norwich.

Travellers complained of being stuck on stationary trains outside stations for up to an hour on Wednesday evening after a faulty train at Earl's Court sparked chaos on the District and Circle lines.

There was no service across a swathe of the District line and no service clockwise on the Circle line.

Chelsea FC's official Twitter account earlier warned fans of the disruption. Kick-off was delayed until 8pm.

It posted: "For fans coming to tonight's game, there is currently no service on the District Line between South Kensington/Edgware Road and Parsons Green/Ealing Broadway and Richmond due to a faulty train at Earls Court."
