London Commuters have been hit by Tube chaos as they race home to watch England’s Euros clash with Denmark.
The Circle, District, Piccadilly and Hammersmith and City lines have all been hit by severe delays.
A sign inside a tube station stated that a customer was under a train and the entire Circle line has been suspended.
The sign read: ‘The entire Circle line is suspended due to a customer under a train! Change at Earl’s Court’
Photos shared on social media sowed queues of desperate fans stuck in tube station corridors waiting to board trains home.

Many England fans worked from home today while others took the day off as excitement builds ahead of this evening’s Euro 2024 match against Denmark.
Some companies confirmed they will even allow their staff to leave the office early so they can get home in time to watch the match kick off at 5pm on BBC One.
However, those who were still needed in the office will be frustrated as they try to navigate the tube amid transport chaos.
The Circle Line has no service between Aldgate and Edgware Road via Embankment and the District Line has no service between Whitechapel and Earl’s Court while the emergency services deal with a casualty on the track.
The Hammersmith and City Line have no service between Liverpool street and Barking while the Piccadilly Line has minor delays between Acton Town and Uxbridge/Heathrow Airport due to a signal failure at Acton Town.
TfL has said there is a good service on other lines including the Bakerloo, Central Northern and Victoria.
