how does the underground get stock like this out of the way, I don't
think they have any shunters, do they have to bring a battery loco in
?


Several battery locos, once the incident train was re-railed.


I believe it was 5.

After the bombings in 2005, the stalled trains were moved using some
battery locos and brake vans that were found in the Museum! These
brake vans have now been repaired so that they can couple a battery
loco to Surface Stock.
Tubeline's Transplant also have a fleet of schoma diesels and various
and tampers and other engineering trains. These can operate on all
lines at any time (except the Victoria, no pax trains allowed and the
Central only if they are ATPthink ;-) )
