Euston Station, one of London’s most important and busiest train stations, has been evacuated.
The station was emptied around 3pm due to a ‘security alert’, according to witnesses and the monitoring service TfL Access.
Hundreds of commuters were hurried out from the station and towards the nearby bus station.
British Transport Police confirmed to Metro that officers were called due to ‘reports of a suspicious item’.
The force added: ‘A cordon was put in place and the station evacuated as a precaution.
‘The item has since been assessed as non-suspicious and the incident stood down.’
Network Rail, which manages Euston, has been approached for comment.
