Fire at Highbury and Islington
Well that was a bit scary. Arrived at the station on a southbound Victoria Line train, and shortly afterwards the Inspector Sands announcement started, and then almost immediately changed to an evacuate message (which I think happens automatically in response to multiple fire alarm activations). Some people ahead started running, and I realised with some concern into a smokefilled passage! Not wanting to be left behind I continued ahead, and fortunately by the bottom of the escalators the air was clear.
Ai the concourse there were two LUL staff fiddling with the fire alarm panel so I told them the fire was real and there was lots of smoke.
I hope everyone got out without mishap.
