TfL: Bank station reopens fire alert and reported flooding as Waterloo and City, Circle, Hammersmith and City lines disrupted
Commuters faced travel chaos in the run-up to the bank holiday, after Bank and Monument stations were closed and several lines were disrupted after a fire alert.
Although the stations have now reopened, several lines, including the Waterloo and City line, were still disrupted.
Transport for London cannot give an estimate of when normal service will resume at this time:
