Delays on London Underground caused by overcrowding are becoming much more frequent, according to figures.
The hold-ups have hit a five-year high, with 237 incidents in the 2014/15 financial year.
Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrats’ transport spokesperson on the London Assembly, who obtained the figures, said: "The Mayor and Transport for London are constantly boasting about the record performance of the London Underground.
“However, there is an increasing problem of serious overcrowding for passengers on much of the Tube, and this is only going to get worse.
"These figures were dragged out of the Mayor and reveal that we cannot afford a day of complacency in tackling Tube delays and ensuring the Tube upgrades are funded.
"Improvements to the Tube are barely keeping up with the rising demand for travel created by London's booming population and record numbers of tourists."
Back in 2010 there were only 153 delays on the Tube caused by overcrowding.
