Commuters were forced to get off the train as one of the XR protesters begins to explain: "You guys have done nothing wrong. We're so sorry about this."
British Transport Police said that there have been four arrests made off the back of the disruptions.
Extinction Rebellion activists have issued an urgent plea, taking to Facebook they wrote: "GOVERNMENT PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH on the Climate and Ecological Emergency. We are at the end of the business as usual line, it is time to stop harming the world in which we live and begin repairing".
