So how would you do that if you were between stations on a tube train
when the power went off?

Me. I would follow the green emergency exit signs which are
(hopefully) lit up by battery powered lights. The same as I would do
during a power cut in any other business place if it was in a station.

That was not my question.

And just to make you feel better and London Underground staff loved.
If the train was in a tunnel and it was well into the tunnel I would
wait for someone from London Underground to come along to make sure
the power really was off for good. As quite frankly I would rather
wait for a station assistant with a flashlight than to be hit by a
train when the power comes on.

Right. So you would in fact rely on LU staff, so why suggest otherwise?
Couldn't you resist the opportunity to denigrate them? Sad.
