    Passengers were stuck on an Elizabeth Line tube train in London last night for so long that the ended up using the seats as toilets.<\/p>\n

    Thousands of Londoners who were talking trips to and from London Paddington were hit by delays and \u201cmajor disruptions\u201d after overhead electric cables were damaged. This saw all services stopped as repair work was carried out in the Ladbroke Grover area.<\/p>\n

    This saw hundreds of people stuck on already-moving tube trains . . . many of which were deep underground, with nowhere to go. Among the passengers was Countdown presenter Rachel Riley, and infamous singer James Blunt.<\/p>\n

    Having been stuck for around five hours, they passengers were eventually let out and had to walk along the tracks, and when freed they began to take to social media to tell of what happened to them. The biggest issue was not a lack of food or water, but a lack of toilet facilities.<\/p>\n

    One wrote on Twitter\/X: \u201cMy friend @madrisimo77 has been stuck on the Elizabeth Line for almost 3 hours. People are using train tracks as toilets, with some even using their seats.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Another wrote: \u201cLMAO Elizabeth Line is awful. It's taken 3 hours to evacuate people from the train.\u201d<\/p>\n

    It is not clear exactly how the seats were used as toilets, and what the clean up operation after the horror journeys was, but the Daily Star has reached out to Transport for London for a comments. The line is not fully back up and running today, nearly 18 hours after the incident first started.<\/p>\n
