Commuters were left fuming this morning after long delays left hundreds of people stood waiting on the platform at Leytonstone station.
Tube users reported trains running late and huge queues forming at the station today (Wednesday, October 5) during rush hour.
Many took to social media to express their frustration at the difficulties trying to catch a Westbound service from Leytonstone.
What is up with the Central line this morning? Even Leytonstone station has crowds 4 people deep on both sides. Vile.

However, TfL says it held no information on delays on the Central line this morning, stating its records showed the service was running well.
Figures recently released by TfL showed the Central line was the most delayed on the entire London Underground network.
Passengers have been held up by a collective total of 1.2million hours, or 136 years, waiting for late trains since March this year.
One of the longest single delays on the line in 2016, which cost commuters 5,181 hours, was caused by a signal failure at Leytonstone in May.
