HORDES of people have been left waiting outside Ilford Station after trains came to a standstill.

Transport for London has apologised for the 'minor delays', because a passenger pulled the emergency stop lever before pulling into the station.

The train was pulled out of service but angry commuters have been left outside the station.

Customers took to Twitter to express their frustration, calling on MP Mike Gapes to do something about the 'dangerous, busy platforms'

TfL have been contacted.
