I was on the tube that day - and for some reason, I took the circle line the other way round, I think because there was issues with the Bakerloo line from Embankment. I missed one tube, and caught the next. My tube stopped just short of Bayswater (one short of Edgware Road), and we just stopped for 2 hours - it was surreal - strangers offering each other water; and the driver just told us network problems.

My phone wouldnt work, so I was about 3 hours late for work by the time we were helped off the tube. The station staff led us out the front of the tube, and we walked along the line and out the station. I called work from a public box to say I was late, and I still didnt know what was going on - it turned out I was the last to call in. Apparently, my missus and ma called in to see if I was OK, as my phone wasn't working. I'm welling up now thinking how close I came. RIP to those who didnt make it.
