LT are reporting "Code Amber". All trains being stopped at
platforms and evacuated to ground level.

Just out of interest, how exactly does this work? I can't help feeling
that there are usually more trains on the system than there are
stations, and that therefore some trains get stopped between stations.
Do they detrain people in the tunnel and get them to walk along to a
station? Or do they hold trains in the tunnel until the train ahead
has been emptied and shunted forward?

I don't know exactly how it works, but I think that there are more trains
than stations only in your imagination. I am sure that some body will be
along in due course to give us the exact numbers.

On the Victoria line there are 15 stations or 31 platforms and 37 trains
during the peaks.

So where are there three platforms (or are you counting one at
Northumberland Road?)
