Looks like it could be an improvised device, or some builders
chemicals that
overheated. Hopefully the latter but seems unlikely to me.

There are reports of folks leaving the station with burns on exposed
flesh. It sounds like a chemical reaction. We can but hope it's not
"the religion of piece" proselytizing.


Seen a picture of the device on twitter with wires hanging out.

the device had a timer (apparently)


Maybe LU can find out how one works,
and fit them in their line control offices.


are we meant to understand that comment?


Makes perfect sense to me. LU timetables are just fiction. Someone should
invest in buying the drivers and signalmen some watches at least. Oh, and
sack the idiot who thought playing "There is a good service on all lines"
every 5 minutes was a way to stop people noticing that there hasn't been a
train for the last 10 and there are now 1000 people on the platform waiting.
