BREAKING: Four London tube stations closed due to 'emergency'
Daily Star ^

Posted on 11/30/2016 11:52:40 AM PST by UKrepublican

The four busy rush hour stations were shutdown this evening as people were evacuated from King's Cross and Euston Square.

Emergency alarms sounded throughout the two London Underground stations with automated announcements informing people to get out.

Large crowds gathered outside the station and commuters queued in the cold on streets of London.

Passengers are understood to have been evacuated due to "overcrowding" and stations have remained closed due to "crowd control".

Very strange situation emerging out of London - I dont think it is anything major, but odd and ongoing.

Apparently as many as 8 are now closed.

Due to over crowding and crowd control.

Right. Want to buy some beachfront property I have in Florida? Cheap.

Nothing is better for crowd control than alarms going off and telling people to run

National Rail Verified account ‏@nationalrailenq 8m8 minutes ago @Libbalar Emergency services are dealing with an incident, delays are expected until 2200 for trains to/from Kings Cross. Nothing on the news here about this, for multiple stations to be closed because of overcrowding is very odd.

I'm trying to pretend I'm not excited by that idea.

Nothing strange when it comes to London tube.
My experience with Train system in UK
- Train delayed for hours because of “Wrong type of leaves on track”
- Train delayed for hours because “Replacement driver is waiting on different station”
- Train delayed for hours on suspicion that someone may be in tunnel.
- Train delayed for hours because few drunks decided to walk on track.

I’ve known all of the above, but not closing multiple stations at once.

Seems this may be down to a lady stuck under a train! Not sure how that happens, but explains the situation. Hopefully she can be rescued!
