Anyone know what's going on at L'pool Street Station?
- Thread starter Leese
- Start date
Power surge/outage or something on the Underground, possibly a collision.
Ambulances have turned up, but it's more for people with minor injuries (lightweights)
Aldgate east and Kings Cross (not sure why?!) have been evacuated.
If anyone wants to perform any major crimes unheeded, I suggest they do it now, as the entire Met force is getting a look in at Liverpool St.

EXPLOSION AT LIVERPOOL STREET STATION
There has been an explosion at a central London tube station.
The blast happened at Aldgate East station on the Metropolitan and Circle Lines.
It is understood the blast was caused by two trains colliding, a power cut or a power cable exploding.
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."
British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".
"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.
"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."
King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Stratford and Aldgate stations have also been cleared.
