Liverpool Street station has tonight been brought to a standstill after a person was struck by a train in east London.
Pictures from the major London hub show hundreds of passengers crammed onto the concourse following major disruption as a result of an emergency incident at Goodmayes station.
British Transport Police were called just after 5.30pm to reports a man had been struck by a train travelling between Liverpool Street and Gidea Park.
A spokesman said the man had been rushed to hospital and described the incident as "non-suspicious".
National Rail said all lines between Liverpool Street and Shenfield were blocked as a result.
Delays and cancellations to Abellio Greater Anglia and TfL Rail services are expected until 8pm.
Passengers took to Twitter to vent their frustration as they struggle to get home as some complained of dangerous overcrowding.
TfL Rail tweeted customers to warn them against using Stratford station which is also said to be busy.
One user said: “Liverpool Street station is literally like hell on earth during rush hour
Daniel Friar posted: “Why are there now NO trains at all leaving Liverpool Street? So dangerous in the station right now @greateranglia
Another woman said: “Avoid Liverpool Street station at all costs.”
