Dear All The Transport For London Team,
Regarding: URGENT // What happened tonight on the underground / tube at St. John's Wood?
I hope that this email finds you well. Please can you let me know what happened tonight (Tuesday 25th June 2024) on the underground / tube at St. John's Wood (at about 8pm)?
I got on at Battersea Power Station and then switched (at Waterloo) to the Jubilee Line to head home to Willesden Green / Dollis Hill. At St. John's Wood there was an incident and something sounded like loud multiple gun shots or some form of several dangerous explosions.
