Man abandoned suitcase in concourse and ran
A woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told getwestlondon:
“It is my husband caught up in it rather than me.
“He has said that he had to leave immediately, and he ran for it.
“It was a panicky situation, to the extent that he abandoned his suitcase in the concourse and ran, which he would never have done, had he not genuinely thought there was an imminent threat of an explosion.”
Station reopened
London Euston has now reopened but there will be “significant delays” to trains until end of service, BTP and Network Rail both said.
Network Rail statement
“We are working with BTP to reopen the station as soon as possible following an earlier security alert.”
