It is believed a person was injured on the London Underground tracks. Passengers on Central Line trains have been advised to find alternative routes on Thursday, with Tubes stopped between Liverpool Street and Leytonstone.
The Central Line is one of Transport for London’s busiest Underground services.
TfL said in an update: “Central Line: No service between Leytonstone and Liverpool Street whilst the emergency services deal with a casualty on the track.
“SEVERE DELAYS on the rest of the line. London Underground tickets will be accepted on London Buses and Greater Anglia services.”
Many travellers on the Central Line on Thursday morning took to social media to suggest the incident had happened at Mile End station in East London.
Transport for London have yet to confirm the details of the incident.
As trains were halted on Thursday morning, many travellers continue to experience severe delays to their journeys.
Fellow TfL user @drivetheboatjc added: “Central line being suspended is hell.”
Frustrated traveller @Officialdjnish wrote: “Has there ever been a day where there aren’t delays on the central line.”

Twitter user @safhisticated_x warned Londoners to “avoid the central line completely!”
This follows days of strikes on the London Underground, with fresh industrial action announced for later this month.
Tube workers from a second union will strike on June 21, meaning both the RMT and Unite unions have announced industrial action on London Underground networks that day.
Earlier this week, RMT said it would embark on the “biggest outbreak of industrial action in the UK since 1989” as 50,000 of its members across the London Underground, Network Rail and 13 train operators go on strike.
Unite said that 1,000 of its London members will join coordinated action on that day over proposals to cut pensions and pay.
Sharon Graham, Unite’s general secretary, said: “It is not acceptable that the dedicated workers at TfL and London Underground are being told to pay the price of the pandemic with their pensions, pay cuts and threats to their jobs.”
