Happy Thursday!

As the working week is drawing to a close, here's your guide to the commute.

Weather

It's a mixed day today with light showers this morning before the sun starts to creep out just after lunch. Most of today will be rather cloudy, however.

It will feel pretty warm though - with highs of 21C and humidity at 94% in some places, today's weather is rather tropical.

Tube and train

There is a good service on all London Underground lines, Thameslink, London Midland, East Midlands and Network Rail trains.

The strikes on Southern Rail have been suspended, meaning holidaymakers using the Gatwick Express and those on any Southern trains will have a normal service from Saturday.

Traffic

A stalled van on the hard shoulder has caused slow traffic on the M1 southbound at junction 4 A41 Edgware Way.

There are severe delays of around 21 minutes on the North Circular Road eastbound between A406 Brentmead Place and A406 North Circular Road in Brent Cross.

These delays are also growing on the North Circular Road further east at A10 Great Cambridge Road and A406 Pinkham Way.

On the Great North Road southbound there are severe delays of around 15 minutes in Brookmans Park.

There is some congestion on the A1 Barnet Bypass going southbound towards Stirling Corner, and delays at junction 5 of the A1 southbound in North Watford.

The A41 Watford Road southbound is congested in Kings Langley and Leavseden and in St Albans there is slow traffic on the southbound North Orbital Road from London Colney to Bricket Wood.

Finally, there is slow-moving traffic on the M25 anticlockwise between M25 and junction 18 A404 Rickmansworth Road, and most M25 junctions in Hertfordshire and north London are experiencing some slowing in those areas.
