Thats the one.

Tube passengers led down Jubilee Line after train fault

Any train that runs underground and can completely break down and not
be moved at all has (short of it being the brakes locked on) a design fault.

"This is clearly not the level of service they have a right to expect."

According to the latest from the BBC they were on the train for fours
hours. Just how long does it take for someone to decide that a train
cannot be moved? And why can't the emergency services overrule TFL,
demand, or order the the power turned off under threat of arrest of
individual staff, and extract the passengers vian the tunnel, after
say, a maximum of 30 minutes? If someone had died, everyone from 'the
man with his finger on the pulse' up to Boris would have been feeling
the heat today
