Fire at London Waterloo disrupts train services and prompts evacuations

Several platforms have been evacuated at the UK’s fourth-biggest railway station after a fire was found.

Rail passengers are facing disruption after a ‘small fire’ was found at London Waterloo, forcing four platforms to be evacuated.

The evacuation is impacting South Western Railway trains in and out of the capital through Clapham Junction, with platforms 20 to 24 closed while the fire was dealt with.

London Fire Brigade confirmed its crews were called to a smell of smoke at London Waterloo around 9.30am on Sunday.

Passengers are facing delays and cancellations while service recovers.
