Balham Underground Station, located in South London, has been shut down by Transport for London (TfL) this morning due to a fire alert. The closure has resulted in severe disruptions on the Northern Line, particularly between Kennington and Morden, where no services are currently operating.
Additionally, the closure of Balham Station is having a knock-on effect on the trains from Balham Railway Station heading into Central London. Commuters are experiencing significantly increased congestion and delays as a result.
Transport for London has announced that alternative transportation options are available for affected passengers. London Buses, London Trams, Southern, and South Western Railway are all accepting tickets from passengers affected by the closure.
Efforts to gather more details about the incident are underway, with inquiries directed to the British Transport Police for further information.
This situation is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
