District line suffers severe delays in morning rush hour 'caused by
passengers refusing to leave defective train'

A group of passengers refused to get off a defective train sparking severe
delays on the District Line during this morning's rush hour, according to
witnesses.

Tube services on the line ground to a halt this morning due to the
"customer incident."

Commuters hit out at the delays online.


An unusual happening. I wonder how many passengers stayed on the
defective train - was there perhaps a particularly vocal complainant in
one carriage who persuaded others to stay put I wonder?


People don't stage a sit in just because they're getting chucked off one train.
They've almost certainly been ****ed about with multiple times on that
journey already and I suspect that was the last straw.
