LU Train Hits Obstruction On Bakerloo Line |
|
A London Underground train has hit an obstruction on the Bakerloo line, causing severe delays.
The line was suspended between Elephant & Castle and Piccadilly Circus, while the rest of the line was severely disrupted.
Transport for London (TfL) said the tunnel had not collapsed and that no-one was injured.
It comes as maintenance workers on three lines are on strike but the Bakerloo Line is not one of them.
Reports on Twitter and by the Rail Maritime Transport Union (RMT) said the tunnel had collapsed.
The union later said the train hitting a bulge in the tunnel wall, which had been caused by rainwater, had caused the incident.
