LEYTON underground station was temporarily closed down this afternoon following a fire alert.
Central Line services between Leytonstone and Liverpool Street were suspended for more than 45 minutes as a result of the alarm, which happened just after 2.30pm.
A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade said it was unclear whether or not there had been a fire, but the cause of the alert was being investigated.
