So what happened to the back-up station in Greenwich? And legal

Spooky, isn't it?

I was going into town this evening... got the bus to KX, and got off
to scenes of chaos. Walked back - not an empty square centimetre on
any of the busses - and KX Thameslink was telling everyone who wanted
to go north to go to Kentish Town. Anyone wanting to go south was
going to be disappointed.

The hivis at the tube entrance said that there was no service anywhere
on the Underground, and that they had no idea whether anything would
be running again tonight.

Not very impressive!

And the website gave NO details at all, showing 'no problems' on the tube
network map.
