The fire at a signal box just outside London Bridge on the 26th of November led to overcrowding and angry scenes at North Greenwich underground station and bus interchange for much of the evening. Passengers complained at the lack of informed staff, fights broke out and eventually the police were called to marshall the bus queues. What lessons can this incident provide for Transport for London's planning for the upcoming redevelopment of London Bridge, during which Greenwich line trains will be unable to stop at this major terminus?
