Sky News are reporting another Tube derailment, this time at Camden
Town, affecting the Bank branch of the Northern Line. They mentioned
"walking wounded".


BBCi News says 6 injured, one with a broken leg.

The two recent Tube derailments have both been on JNP tracks -- are
these maintained by Jarvis, which is a member of Tubelines?


The Hammersmith/Barons Court derailment was on track maintained by Metronet
SSL, as it's a part of the line where there are both District and Piccadilly
tracks. Metronet SSL were also the maintainer of the track at Chiswick
Park, where an engineering train was derailed earlier this year, though to
be fair that wasn't long after they took over.
