Talk:Bethnal Green tube station

message: Removed from page:
In 2003 should be closed for Eastbound and Westbound at Bethnal Green Station for Central Line until Autumn 2003.
Does anyone know anything about this, or even understand what it's on about? It was accompanied by the edit comment (We want to bring the new Central Line in 2003) --rbrwr
After an underground train hit a wall near Chancery Lane station in January 2003, the whole Central Line (and accordingly Bethnal Green tube station) was shut for several weeks. See here:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2786565.stm.  Londonmatty20 (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Also, the Mornington Crescent page suggests that a spiral staircase contributed to the disaster; does anyone know any more about that? Moonraker12 11:30, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I used the station a couple of years ago and the (straight) stairs take a single 90 degree turn from the street to the ticket barriers. Sounds like the woman who fell got stuck on the quarter landing just where the stairs enter the station building. The Central line isn't particularly deep and a spiral staircase isn't really practical if it doesn't go down very far. mh. (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

text: This doesn't seem to have been addressed yet, but as 82.26.57.60 states, the suggestion that the council couldn't afford the crush barrier isn't reflected in the report. While studying primary documents at the National Archives, however, I have seen evidence that some families sought to sue the council, but it needs to be contextualised. There was a standard compensation amount for relatives who died due to "War Operations," and while it was recognised that the shelter disaster did not fit into the accepted definition, it was decided to treat them as such. Some families, however, attempted litigation to secure compensation in excess of that which deaths from War Operation would have merited. Nick Cooper (talk) 22:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
