All services on the North Downs line suspended between Wokingham and Guildford. 1O78 1434 Reading to Gatwick held at Blackwater, train, station and area evacuated by police.

People on Twitter reporting a bomb scare after a passenger said there was a bomb on the train and "hostages at Victoria". (https://twitter.com/C__R__/status/533274944004964352)

Police investigating, hopefully its nothing. Onward travel being organised, those with flights from Gatwick being given priority.

As far as I can see on Twitter this has been resolved now. Hopefully it was a false alarm but I sympathise with anyone who was delayed.
