SCD?

It opened with someone under a train, beggars on the pavement outside
stations, and later it hinted that tube trains were the way the perps
were getting around London. I've not seen pt2 yet.

Not seen the programmes yet, but Emilia Fox was interviewed on TV, and she
said it was partly shot on in-service Northern Line trains, with real
passengers in-shot, and (of course) partly in the disused Jubilee line
platforms at Charing Cross. She said that running through the tunnels was
scary as they could hear service trains running further along the tunnel,
at Green Park.

Short Circuiting Device, essentially a conductive bar laid so as to connect the positive and negative current rails in order to trip the substation breakers if any attempt is made to energise the section.
