Hundreds of commuters were disrupted during rush hour this morning after a fire alarm closed Walthamstow Central Station.
The false alarm sounded at 8.43am, suspending the Victoria Line between Blackhorse Road and Walthamstow Central.
Services were back to normal by 9.10am.
Many people took to Twitter to voice their frustration:
