Emergency drill at Tube station
London Underground staged an emergency exercise to test the response of the services on Sunday.
The rehearsal took place at Southgate station in north London on the Piccadilly Line.
Services did not stop between 0930 GMT and 1600 GMT to allow emergency service access to the station for the duration.
The exercise focused on an incident in the station, which LU says "is not in response to any specific threat, nor recent Tube incidents".
