I think that was what Theo was trying to pointing out.


That was my point

Either that or it would be unlikely to be affected down in its tunnel?


The line runs through Stratford International, which is a big concrete box
open to the sky. If smoke got into the box such that it was reducing
visibility of through the platforms or the station (a big glass and concrete
affair which has no opening date planned) or the tunnels then it might be a
problem. But the trains have cab signalling, so they can presumably operate
when they can't see lineside signals. Possibly it'd be a problem if passing
trains drew smoke into the tunnels.
