Lineside fire near Wandsworth Road station yesterday afternoon:
danger of exploding gas cylinders means that the line has to be
closed for more than 24 hours.


Oh, not that again! Acetylene gas cylinders should be banned or else some
way found of protecting them from this nonsense.


The LFB are campaigning for improved controls:

Good - a few large disruption claims from the railway and other third

out of Kings Cross that suffered a similar problem last year some time?
