Tube station staff have been praised for their quick actions after passengers began smashing windows on a packed Northern line train to escape a suspected fire during the King’s Coronation bank holiday weekend.
Between 500 and 600 people began to self-evacuate from the northbound train, which stopped with two of its six carriages inside a tunnel at Clapham Common station, after a passenger alarm was activated, at 5.42pm on Friday May 5.
