I assume you mean the LU station?

Its like it never happened!!

Waterloo LU was closed because the station was overcrowded. This
resulted from problems on the Bakerloo and Northern lines where there
were signal and train failures that reduced the numbers of trains
running at the height of the peak. As Waterloo gets very overcrowded
very quickly at platform level then it was necessary to stop people
entering the station.
