Certainly not the RMT.

"Geoff Martin, an RMT spokesman, said: "There has been a build-up of rain water
behind the tunnel wall and on the ceiling of the tunnel as well."

What , the rainwater has perculated 30m underground already has it Geoff? Or
perhaps he was getting confused between rainwater and that big thing called the
Thames nearby that is also full of water and probably does leak into the
tunnels all the time.

What are the bets that some sort of bracket came lose and the train hit it?

Most probably, there is truth on both sides.
