Stratford Station has been forced to close after firefighters were called to a blaze near the railway line, as the London Fire Brigade (LFB) issued a stark warning of "extreme" wildfire risks across the capital this weekend.
The LFB confirmed its crews were on the scene on Friday evening, responding to social media videos showing flames close to the train tracks. A post from the LFB on X stated: "Firefighters are currently in attendance at a fire involving shrubbery near the railway line at #Stratford train station. The station has been temporarily closed. More to follow."
