Picadilly between Hammersmith and Barons Court apparently. Details sketchy at the moment. It appears to have been an eastbound Piccadilly near Barons Court (though the TfL/LU sites refer to a derailment at Hammersmith station). The train remained upright and there were no injuries. Further details from BBCi News : ------- "It is believed the wheels of the rear carriage came off the track at 2125 BST as the train carrying 76 people was travelling between Hammersmith and Baron's Court stations. A BTP spokesman said there was no suggestion of crime. He said the passengers were in the process of being transferred to another train to take them on to Baron's Court. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said there were no other trains involved in the incident, which occurred 200 yards from Barons Court station, she said. The train is believed to have come off the rails at some points. "There have been no reports of any injuries", she added. Firefighters, British Transport Police and Underground staff were being taken to the scene on another train to help passengers." ------- "Some points" presumably refers to a connection with the siding between the e/b and w/b Piccadilly tracks. Piccadilly line suspended between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner. District suspended west of Earl's Court (or possibly South Kensington if you believe the Tfl/LU sites). -- Richard J.
