Commuters travelling to Woolwich arrived in Athens instead

They arrived at their usual stop to see London tube maps were replaced by signs for the Athens underground

Newsroom March 24 07:29

Commuters were baffled earlier this week when they set off on a trip to Woolwich, south east London and arrived in Athens, Greece, instead.

They arrived at their usual stop to see London tube maps were replaced by signs for the Athens underground.

It was all down to Matt Damon, who has been filming scenes for the fifth Bourne film at the Woolwich Arsenal DLR station.
