Northbound trains were not stopping at Charing Cross Underground station after a customer incident, Transport for London confirmed.
Passengers travelling through Charing Cross were advised to check their journeys before setting off.
Further details about the circumstances were not confirmed at the time. The update did not say which lines were affected, or how long the disruption would last.
Charing Cross is one of central London’s busiest stations, serving the Bakerloo and Northern lines, and the disruption affected northbound services through the station. On the Northern line, the Charing Cross branch runs north through central London towards High Barnet, Edgware and Mill Hill East, while Bakerloo line trains run north towards Queen’s Park and Harrow & Wealdstone.
The disruption began during the Friday evening peak, when the station is at its busiest, and passengers heading north through central London were advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
TfL uses the term “customer incident” for incidents involving a passenger, and said further details would follow as the situation became clearer. No information was given at the time about when northbound trains would start stopping at the station again.
Passengers were advised to check the latest service information before travelling, and to allow extra time if their journey took them through Charing Cross.
Charing Cross Underground station has now reopened following the earlier customer incident. Northbound trains had been unable to stop at the station while the incident was dealt with. Passengers should continue to check the latest TfL service information for any remaining disruption.
