[edit] 2003
Removed from page:
In 2003 should be closed for Eastbound and Westbound at Bethnal Green Station for Central Line until Autumn 2003.
Does anyone know anything about this, or even understand what it's on about? It was accompanied by the edit comment (We want to bring the new Central Line in 2003) --rbrwr
After an underground train hit a wall near Chancery Lane station in January 2003, the whole Central Line (and accordingly Bethnal Green tube station) was shut for several weeks. See here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2786565.stm. Londonmatty20 (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 2007 derailment
I have a reference for this from the BBC website news story. Is this acceptable? Wilmot1 21:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Secret weapon or Luftwaffe?
According to this 2003 BBC article, the MOD still insist that a Luftwaffe raid was what caused the panic. Has the MOD's story changed in the last four years, and if not shouldn't their version of events be mentioned? 86.132.138.205 23:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spiral staircase
Also, the Mornington Crescent page suggests that a spiral staircase contributed to the disaster; does anyone know any more about that? Moonraker12 11:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- I used the station a couple of years ago and the (straight) stairs take a single 90 degree turn from the street to the ticket barriers. Sounds like the woman who fell got stuck on the quarter landing just where the stairs enter the station building. The Central line isn't particularly deep and a spiral staircase isn't really practical if it doesn't go down very far. mh. (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
