Blackfriars station closed: No underground trains stopping due to flooding

Blackfriars Underground station in London has been closed due to flooding.

Trains are currently not stopping at the station as investigations take place.

Great Northern earlier tweeted: "We have been advised just the underground station at Blackfriars has been closed due to flooding."

Transport for London said there had been a fire alert which was being dealt with.

TfL, in response to a customer's tweet, added: "There is currently a fire alert at the station and therefore is being dealt with accordingly by the appropriate people."

"The closure is due to a fire alert at the station, which is being investigated. We'll let you all know when the station reopens," the Circle and District line's Twitter accounts reported.

London buses are accepting tickets in the meantime, the report says. 

One Twitter user posted: "Blackfriars Station closed, fire engine just arrived." 

A commuter said: "Got to Blackfriars, police outside and the station closed. That’s not good!"

One seemed to find a positive side to the closure, saying: "Blackfriars being shut tonight reminded me that walking through Central London can actually be a really nice journey, featuring St Paul's, Bank and Liverpool Street."

The commuter tweeted photos as he walked around the city.
