Tube warning after 'bang' heard

Londoners are being urged to avoid the Tube network after reports of an
explosion at Liverpool Street Station.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) said they were called to reports of an
explosion at Liverpool Station in the City of London just after 0900
GMT.

A LFB spokeswoman said four crews were at the scene and more were on
their way to the station which is now closed. Cordons are in place.

A power failure may be behind the problems, Transport for London said.



lucky this didn't happen yesterday morning...

From ITV.com

Emergency services were called to London's Liverpool Street station
after an explosion at 8.49am and British Transport Police said the
incident happened on the Metroplitan Line and may have been caused by
two trains colliding, a power cut or a power cable exploding.

Nice to know the BTP can't tell the difference between a train crash or
an electrical fault on the patch they're responsible for
