Travel chaos has hit London’s busiest train station after a “security alert” temporarily prompted its closure.
Waterloo Station, which serves around 250,000 people per day, was closed shortly after 7.10am this morning.
The closure resulted in major disruption on the Waterloo & City Line.
The Northern line was also closed between Battersea Power Station and Camden Town.
Transport for London said: “No service between Battersea Power Station and Camden Town via Charing Cross while we respond to a security alert. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line.”
Earlier this morning, TFL said: “This station is closed while we respond to a security alert. Tickets are being accepted on London Buses.”
Waterloo Station had been reopened at 7.40am, Transport for London confirmed.
“Waterloo Station has reopened,” TFL added.
