A sewage leak at Tooting Broadway station this afternoon was caused by staff toilets, it has emerged.
A blockage caused them to overflow at around 12.15pm, with sewage running along the floor and down the esculators.
The stench wafted out of the doors as workers closed the station and redirected commuters via Tooting Bec and Colliers Wood stations.
The station re-opened again at 3.41pm with a normal service.
