St Pancras station was evacuated on Tuesday after a controlled explosion of an “unattended car”, causing major train delays. Emergency services attended the scene and the Metropolitan Police confirmed the explosion, which has since been deemed non-suspicious. Customers were later told it was safe to re-enter the station.
Disruption to services
During the incident, services were not stopping at St Pancras, leading to significant disruption. Eurostar services were delayed by at least 30 minutes in some cases, and East Midlands Railway (EMR) also reported major disruption across its network.
Incident resolved
The evacuation and subsequent controlled explosion caused widespread travel chaos, but the situation has been resolved, with passengers allowed back into the station. This is a breaking news story and is being updated.
