If it occurred on LUL premises it should be on CCTV.
Yeah, like when that bloke got shot at Stockwell.
Oh no, wait.
I heard an interesting rumour about that a few weeks ago, which I pass
on without the benefit of any knowledge to assess its accuracy !
The reason why there was no CCTV footage of Stockwell, which IIRC was
stated to be because the cameras "weren't working", may have been
because many/most/all of the hard drives of many/most/all of the video
recording systems from across TfL were at that moment sitting in a big
pile in a police station somewhere, awaiting police time to review the
footage for evidence related to the then-recent bombing attempts, but
nobody had anticipated that more than a couple of spare hard drives
would be needed across the network so there were too few to install in
their place.
I've also read this, but again, not in definitely reliable sources.
