Central line Tube services are severely delayed after a person fell under a train at Tottenham Court Road station on Thursday (September 8) morning.

London Ambulance Service and the Air Ambulance attended the scene at the station shortly after 8.30am.

A patient has been taken as a priority to a major trauma centre in central London. Their condition is unknown.

The station was closed until shortly before 10am. A total suspension of eastbound services between Marble Arch and Liverpool Street was implemented, though this has now been lifted.

However, Transport for London (TfL) say services are running to severe delays. A spokesperson also said the incident is not being treated as suspicious.

Passengers have spoken of the impact the incident is having on their morning commute. Alexandra MacLeod posted a photo of a crammed platform on Twitter and wrote: “#Centralline chaos having knock on effect at Paddington for Hammersmith and City tube.”

Rush hour motorists were held up on Wednesday (September 7) when a motorcyclist was involved in a collision with a car in Hammersmith.

Last month police asked for help finding a hero who jumped on the tracks at the station to help a man who had fallen onto the rails.
