SEVERE delays are occurring on the Central Line following reports of a man under a train at Stratford and a fire at Mile End.

Services are currently suspended between Bethnal Green and Leytonstone eastbound, while the rest of the line is also affected.

Transport for London initially said a man was under a train at Stratford, but have now said the "fire alert" elsewhere is causing the current delays.

Tickets are being accepted by London Buses and National Express East Anglia train services.
