Harrow-on-the-Hill is now open, but it was always the odd one out on the list...

Hope those working on the railways stay safe. With how this is spreading they are targets. Buses are already being hit bad.

I noticed that the Furniture Store that was set alight was right next to the Tramlink, it looked like the tracks were on fire too.

Probably reflections :D But it looked like some of the OHLE supply was ruined.

Someone told me that the Croydon Tramlink tracks have been damaged by fire.

LU is saying all Underground stations will be open as normal this morning except Ealing Broadway where some entrances will be closed because they are within Police cordons.

Somewhere, not in London

You sure he's a driver and not just someone who stole the bus? The quality of driving would probably have improved and they'll know what tickets are what if it's stolen...

Nothing to do with rioting - sadly an attempted suicide :(

I remember hearing vaguely last night that Hamstead Station had been set on fire. Can someone confirm this?

Chiltern Railways control supposedly received information last night from the Met Police that something was going to happen at Harrow/Hill so non stopped for a short while. Nothing received by LU so station remained open with Met line stopping normally.

Nothing happened at Hampstead station.

Metrolink has opened as normal from start of service.
Croydon Tramlink still suspended between East Croydon and Wandle Park.
Other London rail services open as normal
