00:00British Transport Police declared a major incident yesterday and counterterrorism policing

00:05were initially supporting our investigation however at this stage there is nothing to

00:11suggest that this is a terrorist incident. This is a British Transport Police investigation

00:17and we continue to work to establish at pace the full circumstances and the motivations that have

00:24led to this incident. At this early stage it would not be appropriate to speculate on the cause of

00:30this incident. As you can see the station this morning remains closed however we expect trains

00:37to be passing through the station this morning. Passengers will see a high visibility presence of

00:43police officers at stations and on trains throughout today up and down the transport

00:49network. Our officers are there to reassure the public and to address any concerns they may have.
