What Happened at Marylebone Last Night?
At about 7.30 last night I was getting on the Bakerloo line at Marylebone station. There was a bang and then the platform filled with white smoke. There was an announcement telling all passengers to leave the station due to “a reported emergency”.
I’m sure it was nothing serious, most likely involving the motor or some other bit of the train, but I am curious. Anyone able to fill me in?
I didn’t really want to ask anyone at the scene since nobody else was. Everybody just quietly filed out when we were told and left the station. I was again impressed with the innate British ability to quickly and efficiently form a queue.

Did you ever find out what happened?

I assume it was a fairly routine non-event because I never saw or heard anything regarding it. They might have opened the underground up pretty quickly, I didn’t bother sticking around and just walked to the next station.
