I agree with some earlier posters that the Northern Line incident at
Camden Town (where a train hit the tunnel wall at a junction) seems to
provide the most realistic equivalent. And don't forget that the Central
Line train that derailed (at Chancery Lane?) damaged the tunnel and
platform in the process. How long did that take to repair (rather than
understanding what was wrong with the trains)?

Hello,

As a matter for comparison, I remember that it took more than two weeks
after July 16, 1995 (when a bombing killed 8 and injuried 50 at
Saint-Michel station on RER B line of Paris transit system) to get
normal service.

Note that Saint-Michel station is built on the *very* model of a deep LU
station: two tubes and central escalators. Even the walls opposite the
platform look like a London Underground station. One could excpect to
hear Stand Back, Train Approaching... As a difference, it has mainline
gauge and overhead supply.

Stanislas, who is very upset by this series of bombings - but those
won't deter me from coming to London next week!
