This is film footage from the BBC of what it looked like when 2 MILLION litres of water from the burst 24" drain in Wick Lane flooded the Central Line near the Olympic Park.

Footage of 2m litres of water flooding #central line - hopefully this link works
When you see that footage it becomes a lot clearer what sort of challenge now faces Transport for London and why the Central Line is suspended.Click here to download:movie.mov (3.96 MB)
It looks like residents in the Mile End area wanting to use the Central Line will have to wait a while longer while they pump all that water out!
For those wanting to travel by tube: These are links to:
- the departure Board for the Central Line at Mile End - currently marked out of service
- Engineering works planned for later today / lines suspended
