Sorry for the tabloid headline !

08.45 Saturday . . . .Reports of a bendy bus going up in smoke at
Victoria bus ststaion - the one at the front of the station, not the
coach station (er obviously - but you see what I mean) London
Underground services running through but not calling - NR station open
with front entrances, not surprisingly, closed.

Given Boris's hatred for Bendies, shouldn't they be called Ken's
Bendies?

Even the worst tabloid would probably be able to spell Boris in a
headline though...

Speaking of Victoria, what happened last night that service was
suspended between Warren Street and Brixton for about two hours?

My apologies for the spelling, To the other paul, there was supposed
to be some irony in my Bor(r)is quote. I am a great fan of the whole
its "my" (Bor(r)is' overground when it was Kens idea and a succces and
its Kens Bendies when they are useless.

Ho hum............

The report I recieved was the flames were high, the fire brigade
attended and tha the bus station remains closed for removal of the
remains. The LUL station opened 50 minutes after my original post. I
am fully aware that the sensationalist world we live in could mean
there is simply some scalding on a panel somewhere.?

Person under a train at Victoria.

Any details?

There's nothing possibly to add to that. What kind of details were you
possibly thinking of? It was a person under a train, which is alas a
regular occurrence on the network, end of.

You just had them. I don't do blood and gore posts. You yourself know
where the line was suspended and the approximate duration as you stated
it above. There's nothing else to say.

Quite.

Jumped, fell or pushed seems a salient point.

The short bit of film I saw on the news suggested a bit more than a bit of
smoldering, lots of black and grey smoke shooting upwards in that vigorous
way that suggests quite a jolly bonfire underneath.
