Whilst doing volunteer work for LU at Hammersmith station, the DM
came down and showed us his pager, which showed that due to an
Incident with a passenger, Armed Police had to visit the station,
causing the District to be suspended Tower Hill - Plaistow and the
Central to be suspended as well (Later on changed to all trains
running but not stopping at Mile End). ANyone know what went on?

According to the BBC:

1115: Police respond to a security alert at Mile End station, where one
eyewitness reports a smell of burning.

1130: Mile End station is reopened as Scotland Yard explain the incident
was "nothing".

I'm intrigued at the vague description of the incident being "nothing". If
there was a smell of burning, there was a cause. I wonder why Scotland Yard
or London Transport didn't say what the cause actually was. Am I right to be
suspicious of vagueness like this?
