Fourteen Elizabeth line passengers have received medical treatment – and two have been taken to hospital – after a “smell of chemicals” was reported on a platform at London’s Farringdon station.
The station was evacuated and closed but reopened at 11:35 BST after London Fire Brigade (LFB) checked the area and found no elevated readings for any chemical substances.
The British Transport Police (BTP) initially said the closure was due to a “suspected gas leak”.
Emergency services were called to the scene, including armed police officers.
The Elizabeth line is now running with severe delays, Transport for London said.
