\u201cWe\u2019re operating with severe delays to all destinations due to an earlier customer incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cTickets accepted on Southeastern, South Western Railway, Great Northern and Overground train services.\u201d<\/p>\n
What happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n At about 7:15am every entrance to the Tube station \u2013 one of London\u2019s busiest – was blocked due to a casualty on the tracks.<\/p>\n Emergency services were called to the scene, including police cars, fire engines and ambulances.<\/p>\n A spokeswoman for London Fire Brigade has said a woman in her 60s had fallen on the tracks, suffering an ankle injury.<\/p>\n The closure led to other tubes stations, like Stockwell, struggle to operate because of overcrowding.<\/p>\n The rush hour chaos is likely to impact other commuters throughout the day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Words: Dan Branston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hundreds of rush hour passengers are evacuated from the station because of an incident on the tracks.
