The Central Line has reopened after a section in the east of London closed during rush hour, following a security alert at South Woodford station. 
 
The Tube station was shut and commuters evacuated, with one eyewitness saying it was due to a bomb scare.  
 
Another eyewitness said there was a "suspicious package in the subway".
