Default BBC News: Tube passengers trapped for hours

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/5028738.stm

"Nearly 150 people were trapped for more than two hours when a Tube
train got stuck underground in north London.

A signal failure stopped the Victoria Line train at 0020 BST on
Tuesday, and another problem with traction current meant it could not
be re-started.

Passengers were trapped between Highbury and Islington and Finsbury
Park and were eventually led along tracks to safety."


Less than a perfect way to end your bank holiday. The evacuation
finished at 2:50am.
