It’s a mishap that will cement itself in London transit lore.
A major line on the London Underground was largely shut down on Thursday after fast-setting concrete leaked into signaling equipment.
Subway operator Transport for London initially identified the cause of the problem on the Victoria Line as “flooding.” But officials later said contractors had leaked water and cement into a signal control room. Most of the line was shut and it was to take a day at least to restore normal service.
