Firefighters are tackling a bus alight outside Golders Green Tube station.

London Fire Brigade was called at 10.45am today to reports of a bus on fire in the station forecourt in North End Road, and sent one engine from West Hampstead.

The station was temporarily closed for about six minutes, and was re-opened at 11am.

National Express tweeted that traffic is unable to access the bus station, with coaches stopping under the railway bridge instead.
