He might have told them to avoid the juice rails, but it's a damn sure
bet, he wouldn't have detrained without discharging traction current
which by the way puts on the tunnel lights. Further he would have laid
down a SCD for added safety.

I just wondered if this could have happened to anybody on the Edgware
Rd train. I thought that some people were actually blown out of the
train or did I misread that bit.

There was a report of one person blown out of the train at Edgware Road
into the path of an oncoming train. How accurate that is knowing the
notoriously innacurate British press is anybodys guess, but I would
suppose it could happen.
