The four busy rush hour stations were shutdown this evening as people were evacuated from King's Cross and Euston Square.

Emergency alarms sounded throughout the two London Underground stations with automated announcements informing people to get out.

Large crowds gathered outside the station and commuters queued in the cold on streets of London.

Passengers are understood to have been evacuated due to "overcrowding" and stations have remained closed due to "crowd control".

Have they tried to lure her out with an offer of tea?

[RummyChick]

Can you remember the last time that happened?

Like maybe some kind of celebration for the Royal Family?

[Cementjungle]

Nothing at all on Twitter.

Generally they would only do this due to some sort of threat.

I think this will turn out to be a trapped person, but it certainly shows how much chaos can be caused by an incident at KK.

If you search kings cross it is all over twitter.

There’s not a flying car hanging about a train, is there?

Read about that happening in England.

Chocolate frogs were everywhere.

“Right. Want to buy some beachfront property I have in Florida? Cheap.”

If it were beachfront property in Oklahoma or North Dakota I might be interested. There are no beaches in Florida silly :-P.

It was a false alarm.

Some dude with no nose chasing a hot girl, a geek, and a ginger.

Ah yes... various reasons being speculated. "Overcrowded" seems to be the most common one, with "bomb threat" and "emergency" being runners up.

Perhaps a "suspicious package" type of thing.

Come on, didn't you know that a random non-holiday Tuesday in November is the biggest mass transit day in Britain each year? Or so I assume, given this story.

I clicked to find out what the ‘tubes’ are.

You need to get one of those cool T-shirts with a map of the Underground.

SHUTDOWN is a noun.

Maybe with free cosmetic dentistry?

Whatever it is, rest assured it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Islam.

Too bad everybody decided to go to London today.

Person seemingly trapped under our train as it left Kings Cross

. We were at front outside of station. Evacuated back thru train to platform.

[RummyChick]

Do the other stations that are closed use that rail?

Nothing to see here. No Acts of Terrorism

Mayor Khan says all is good.
