Service have resumed to all Northern Line stations today, eleven days after seven people were injured when a train derailed at Camden Town station.
The East Finchley to Euston section of the line was the last to reopen earlier today, and the only remaining disruption will be that trains will only run on separate branches of the line.
Trains from Edgware will only run via Bank, and services from Mill Hill East and Barnet will only run via Charing Cross.
“Trains will run at near to normal frequencies. There will be no early closure of the line tonight or in the immediate future,” a London Underground statement said.
The reopening will provide relief for commuters in North London, after the serious disruptions in the wake of the Camden Town derailment on Sunday, October 19.
The final carriage of a train came off the tracks and smashed into the tunnel, badly damaging wiring and cables.
Some of this cabling was decades old, and the delays in resuming services have been caused by difficulties fixing the cabling.
LU managing director Tim O’Toole said he was pleased a full service had been restored, although there would be continuing disruptions for passengers having to change to reach their destination.
“Running the line in two separate sections means we can safely reintroduce a service to all stations now, while investigation work continues to establish the root cause of the accident."
The Camden Town derailment was the second on the Tube network within a 48-hour period, after a Piccadilly line train came off tracks near Barons Court, although no-one was injured.
The RMT union wants LU to terminate maintenance and engineering contracts with the two Tube consortia, and has threatened strike action to support its demands.
LU bosses have already said they will not terminate the contracts.
