I used to travel on the Northern line for many years ago and that sort
of
thing occurred almost every 3 months!

One occasion I had to knock on the drivers door to tell him the train
was on
fire and he replied "Bloody hell!". I can laugh about it now but at the
time
I was sharing the carriage with a mother who had a baby in a pram and
when
you actually see a flame its not at all nice.

You have to wonder what would (does?) happen if some of the newspaper &
tissues
etc that people drop around the system were to get lodged in some hot
traction
equipment. I imagine this could be quite likely to happen in a tunnel
section.

Not only that hair and skin! They usually send a squad down each tunnel at
night to basically hand pick all of the rubbish that seems to build up in
the tunnels.
