Farringdon station has now reopened after an evacuation was ordered earlier when a "small number" of passengers reported feeling unwell.

National Rail has said although the station has reopened, passengers should expect "major disruption" on the rail network until at least 17:00 BST.

The British Transport Police (BTP) is yet to confirm the cause of the closure and evacuation, although earlier said it was a "suspected gas leak".

The Elizabeth Line is now running with severe delays, Transport for London (TfL) said.
