Several passengers have been injured when a London underground train derailed at a busy station in the north of the capital in the latest in a string of accidents on the country's creaking rail network.
"We believe there may be some minor injuries, they are just being walked out now," said a spokeswoman for London Transport Police.
The cause of the derailment, which occurred at Camden underground station on the Northern Line, was unknown, she said.
A spokeswoman for London Underground said the accident occurred on a northbound section of the High Barnett branch. "It appears that one carriage struck a wall as it entered the station," she added.
There was transport havoc last week after a derailment at Hammersmith station on the Piccadilly Line which rail authorities said might have been caused by a broken rail.
That brought back memories of a crash in January when at least 32 people suffered minor injuries after a packed underground train derailed as it pulled into Chancery Lane on the Central Line.
The accidents have highlighted the need for investment to overhaul London's aged underground, known as the "tube."
Last month, a low-speed train derailment disrupted services at London's King's Cross station.
