Victoria station closed: London Underground station shut over alert | Daily Star CLOSED: A fire alert forced Victoria station to shut

The major underground station was evacuated shortly after 1pm due to an unknown alert.

One commuter tweeted that there had been "a fire alert at Victoria underground station" as well as "a security alert at Victoria station".

But a Victoria station spokesman said only the underground station was affected.

⛔ Victoria Station is closed while we respond to a fire alert, your tickets will be accepted on the local buses either side of the station.

The station's Twitter account posted: "Victoria Station is closed while we respond to a fire alert.

"Your tickets will be accepted on the local buses either side of the station."

The station was reopened an hour later, but there are now long delays because of the closure.

✅ Victoria station has re-opened



Trains between Victoria and Brighton and London Gatwick airport are also currently being cancelled due to major signal failures.
