OT - Massive fire at Olympic games site

If you can get a view at all then you'll be able to see the smoke from this drifting over east London. Looks bad. |

Either that or it would be unlikely to be affected down in its tunnel? Paul |

That was my point  Either that or it would be unlikely to be affected down in its tunnel? The line runs through Stratford International, which is a big concrete box open to the sky. If smoke got into the box such that it was reducing visibility of through the platforms or the station (a big glass and concrete affair which has no opening date planned) or the tunnels then it might be a problem. But the trains have cab signalling, so they can presumably operate when they can't see lineside signals. Possibly it'd be a problem if passing trains drew smoke into the tunnels. Theo |

If you can get a view at all then you'll be able to see the smoke from this drifting over east London. Looks bad. I watched it for about 20 minutes while waiting for my train at Pudding Mill Lane - pretty much from the very beginning of the smoke. Creepy, but at first I thought it was some part of the construction works ;-) And it definitely was less annoying then the constant noice of from the construction site. Then 40 minutes later I came back to Pudding Mill Lane to find my home under the thick black cloud. It even became darker for a while. |
