It confirmed that all services returned back to normal just before 4.30pm.
Police continue to search for Abdul Ezedi who was last seen on Southwark Bridge at 9.50pm on January 31.
Investigators are trawling through hundreds of hours of CCTV and have tracked Ezedi’s movements on the Tube network via his bank card.

Counter-terrorism officers are helping sift through CCTV as part of the manhunt following the attack.
Anyone with information about Ezedi is asked to call 020 7175 2784 or for an immediate sighting dial 999.
