A train derailed between Mile End station and Bethnal Green.

I was on the Bethnal Green station when the next departing train had its lights turned off and all passengers were asked to leave. An announcement was made that an "incident" had happened between Mile End and Bethnal Green.

I took the Eastbound Central line back to Mile End so I could then switch to the District Line. One of the trains was empty, with its lights turned off, and policemen were about to enter the tunnel. I thought an attack had taken place in the tunnel-stuck train (not necessarily of the terrorist kind).

I might have been in that train if I'd decided to walk to Mile End (my usual routine) instead of taking the bus to Bethnal Green.

Edit: Now they think something was placed on the tracks to derail the train... hmmmmm.

It seems like it was human error. I'm just glad it wasn't too serious.
