London Underground (LU) advised passengers that Baker Street station will be closed for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening due to a major gas leak outside the station.

Trains are running through, but not stopping at the station.

National Grid has dug up the road and is repairing the gas leak and hope to have it fixed so that the station can re-open this evening.

Passengers who normally enter, exit or interchange at Baker Street station are advised to find an alternative station, but to check before they travel via the following options:
