<br />
At 03:45 on the 16th a huge SC 1,800 kg fragmentation bomb struck a hostel at 92 Westminster Bridge Road, near Lambeth North station. As well as killing a large number of people in the hostel, the explosion caused extensive damage to the southern end of the southbound platform tunnel. Concrete rendering was broken, platform coping stones were blown onto the track, and cables and current rails displaced. Around 50 segments of the tunnel were bulging dangerously. Signalling south of Charing Cross (now Embankment) was also affected. Twenty-eight shelterers on the platform were injured, one of whom died in hospital two weeks later.<sup>[1]</sup> <sup>[2]</sup> There was corresponding damage to the rendering of the south end of the northbound platform tunnel, where a relay room was destroyed. To the north of the platforms, neither the scissors crossover nor the connection to London Road Depot were damaged, and the signal box frame at the bottom of the lift-shaft which controlled them was undamaged, and in fact the sleeping off-duty signalman was not woken by the explosion! The signal line tunnel to the Depot – somewhat parallel to the northbound platform tunnel – was also shaken, with some cracked segments and water ingress. Some minor damage of the Northern line tunnels, which run almost directly below the south end of the platform tunnels.<sup>[3]</sup> From commencement of traffic on the 16th, southbound Bakerloo line trains reversed at Piccadilly Circus.<sup>[4]</sup> From 11:00 on the same day a shuttle service was run between Waterloo and Trafalgar Square (now Charing Cross).<sup>[5]</sup><br />
<br />

<blockquote>

<br />
At 19:15 on the 11th Wood Lane Depot was again hit by Incendiary Bombs (IBs), which were extinguished by staff. At the same time IBs caused fires at both Latimer Road and Moorgate stations, which were also put out by staff. Glass in windows and the roof dome of the Northern line Elephant & Castle station were broken, as well as windows in the sub-station.<sup>[1]</sup><br />
<br />
Also at 19:15 a High Explosive bomb (HE) hit the Central line ticket hall at Bank station and exploded in the escalator machine room, collapsing the surrounding subway and the supported road junction. The blast carried down the escalator shaft, further damaging the escalator, and causing multiple casualties amongst shelterers on the escalator and the platform. The track was damaged, and the station switch room flooded with water from fractured mains.<sup>[2]</sup> <sup>[3]</sup> The blast also damaged a Waterloo & City line ventilating fan and signal relay panel.<sup>[4]</sup> Loss of current from the Bank switch room caused the lighting to fail at Holborn station – hurricane lamps used.<sup>[5]</sup> At 21:00 a number 21 bus ran into the crater, receiving slight damage.<sup>[6]</sup> Eastbound Central line trains reversing at Holborn.<sup>[7]</sup> Through services resumed at 07:11 on the 12th.<sup>[8]</sup> <sup>[9]</sup><br />

<br />
Metropolitan line services reversing at High Street Kensington and Edgware Road at 19:53 due to fires adjacent to Notting Hill Gate.<sup>[12]</sup><br />
<br />
At 20:18 a bomb landing in the roadway damaged both entrances to Green Park station, the ticket hall, and a retail unit. One member of staff and a passenger were injured – one of whom died in hospital the next day – and two ambulance drivers killed (see Appendix X).<sup>[13]</sup> <sup>[14]</sup> Northern entrance wrecked, minor fire in station, southern entrance remains open, and services not suspended.<sup>[15]</sup>
<br />
HEs and IBs in the vicinity slightly damaged St Paul’s station, injuring two people, one seriously. Station closed until commencement of traffic on the 12th.<sup>[16]</sup><br />
<br />
IB on track at Southfields station at 21:02 – southbound District line services reversed at Putney Bridge. Normal working from 21:14.<sup>[17]</sup><br />
<br />

<br />
HE on Baker Street station at 21:19 – damaged offices and debris on Metropolitan line track and platforms 3 and 4.<sup>[19]</sup> Train at platform 3 damaged by blast; southbound trains reversed at Wembley Park.<sup>[20]</sup> Later trains running through.<sup>[21]</sup><br />
<br />
Unexploded bomb on the LNER tracks directly over the Piccadilly line tunnel at Caledonian Road at 22:00. Westbound trains reversing at Finsbury Park, eastbound at King’s Cross.<sup>[22]</sup> Eastbound trains subsequently reversed at disused York Road station.<sup>[23]</sup> Through services resumed 16:15 on the 12th.<sup>[24]</sup><br />
<br />
Unexploded bomb in St George’s Hospital near Hyde Park Corner station at 23:10. Station evacuated and shelterers transferred to other stations. Trains running through station under speed restriction.<sup>[25]</sup> <sup>[26]</sup> Trains reversing at Hammersmith and Green Park from commencement of traffic on the 13th,<sup>[7]</sup> then resumed fully at 11:50.<sup>[28]</sup><br />
<br />
At 02:10 the Bishopsgate subway leading to the Central line Liverpool Street station was closed due to flooding from nearby fire-fighting operations.<sup>[29]</sup><br />
<br />
At 08:00 on the 12th, the following working conditions were reported:<br />
<blockquote>

<br />
