The Elizabeth Line in London has been hit by severe disruptions, including power failures, suspended services, and passengers being stranded on trains for hours. This chaos has led to commuters, including celebrities, enduring darkness and cold temperatures, with some having to walk along tracks. The situation has also been exploited by a sex predator who assaulted a commuter. The disruptions are expected to continue until 6 PM, with some commuters being charged extra for not tapping out in time due to being trapped on trains.
