Hundreds stranded by faulty train
Hundreds of people were forced to leave a Tube train when it broke down during the morning rush-hour.

Up to 900 people got off the Central Line train at Holland Park when it stopped part-way out of the west London station at 0900 BST.

A Transport for London (TfL) spokesman said the problem was due to a defective train and investigations were ongoing.

Services have now resumed both ways between White City and Marble Arch, but are running with severe delays.

TfL said arrangements were being made to move the east-bound train as soon as possible.
