Do you think this is an isolated incident, or does it happen more
often an simply not get reported?


The Evening Standard reported yesterday that there have been previous
attacks elsewhere on the Underground, albeit not recently:

"In previous attacks on the east end of the District and Central lines,
train drivers have refused to work unless security was stepped up. Eleven
Central line trains were attacked two years ago between White City and
Acton. The windows were smashed by vandals hurling bricks. There were also
unconfirmed reports on that occasion of an air rifle being fired at
passengers."

Regards,
Tristan
