1315 We're getting new reports of a "series of incidents" on the tube network. Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush tubes have all been evacuated, and emergency services are attending. Services on the Victoria line and Northern line have been suspended.

Sky News is reporting a minor explosion on one tube at 1254. A passenger's backpack blew apart, but did not cause further damage. There was panic on the train, but passengers were able to disembark.

 

[flimsier]

And Euston evacuated

Where did you hear that? Or was it just the Victoria Line re: Warren St etc.

 

[Loki]
