Fines over runaway tube wagon
London Underground and two rail contractors have been fined £100,000 each after a tube maintenance wagon was allowed to run out of control.
CCTV of out-of-control Tube train
These incredible CCTV pictures show a Tube maintenance train which was being towed on the Northern Line in August 2010. It then broke free and rolled back down the line at speeds of up to 30mph. It eventually came to a halt on an incline near Warren Street after passing through seven stations.
The driver jumped free of the out of control vehicle as it hurtled through Archway station. A court heard how it came with 600 metres of a passenger train.
