The Northern line is part suspended due to an Alsatian dog on the tracks.
This afternoon (August 24) there was initially no service between High Barnet and Camden Town on the Northern liner due to an “animal on the track” at East Finchley, Transport for London have said.
In a new update, there is no service between Finchley Central and Mill Hill East, with severe delays between High Barnet and Camden Town.
There are minor delays on the rest of the line.
- UPDATE: Service has resumed at all stations

David Sillito, the BBC media and arts correspondent, has claimed it is an Alsatian dog on the track which headed north into the tunnel.
According to Mr Sillito, the dog is called Devin and British Transport Police were at the scene to deal with the situation.
Commuters on the train have claimed they were stuck in the tube in a tunnel for over an hour.
East Finchley station has since reopened and the dog has reportedly made his way to Mill Hill.
