Passengers recall 'surreal' Elizabeth line delay ordeal
Hundreds of passengers were stranded on dark, cold trains for several hours on Thursday evening, after damage to overhead electric cables in the Ladbroke Grove area of west London affected Elizabeth line, Great Western Railway and Heathrow Express trains.
Some passengers reported being stuck for more than three hours while receiving little or no information.
Eventually, the battery back-up running the train's heating and light services ran out, and passengers were left in darkness for another hour and a half until they were evacuated from the train.
But what was it like to be aboard this ill-fated Elizabeth Line service? Passengers Jack and Emma have been speaking to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ London.
