London Underground passengers have been warned of flooding at Liverpool Street station.

Part of the UK’s busiest station has become waterlogged after heavy rain battered London this morning.

Metropolitan line trains are unable to stop on the eastbound platform ‘due to flooding,’ TfL said on X.

An eyewitness told Metro that Circle line trains were rammed with queueing passengers trying to get on while others were trying to squeeze out.

The commuter said that suddenly upcoming trains on the departure board changed to ‘not stopping.’

Some frustrated passengers were pushing to try to get on when trains did stop, she said.

‘There were no staff announcements,’ she said.

The flooding is not affecting National Rail services overground, Network Rail told Metro.

TfL Access said: ‘Liverpool Street Trains non-stopping eastbound metropolitan line due to flooding.’

We approached TfL for a comment.

More than 94 million passengers travelled through London Liverpool Street last year.

The station saw 14.1 million more passengers compared to 2022-2023, thought to be due to the increased Elizabeth line usage after it opened in May 2022.
