London commuters have been dealt a fresh blow as King’s Cross St Pancras station has been evacuated to prevent overcrowding, according to Transport for London.

In the second day of travel hell in the capital, the Bakerloo, Northern, Circle, Hammersmith and City, and Elizabeth lines are all experiencing severe delays.

It follows on from chaos on Tuesday, when people experienced severe delays on the Elizabeth line.

Thameslink has also been hit by delays this morning due to heavy rain flooding the railway between London Bridge and St Pancras International. All lines are blocked and train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled.

The website says: “We strongly advise you delay travelling until later this morning. There will be heavy disruption for trains in and out of central London, and your journey could take up to an hour longer than usual.

“There will be a reduced service between Bedford and Three Bridges in both directions. Pleaase check station screens and planners for the latest information.”
