A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said there were no other trains involved
in the incident, which occurred 200 yards from Barons Court station,
she said. The train is believed to have come off the rails at some
points. "There have been no reports of any injuries", she added.

Firefighters, British Transport Police and Underground staff were
being taken to the scene on another train to help passengers."

"Some points" presumably refers to a connection with the siding
between the
e/b and w/b Piccadilly tracks.

Going by the measurements and direction of travel, it sounds like 24b
points.

Piccadilly line suspended between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner.
District suspended west of Earl's Court (or possibly South Kensington
if you believe the Tfl/LU sites).

West Kensington I assume.

Perhaps. Anyway, they now say the District is operating but with delays,
and Hammersmith station is closed.
