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:

I have a reference for this from the BBC website news story. Is this acceptable? Wilmot1 21:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
According to this 2003 BBC article, the MOD still insist that a Luftwaffe raid was what caused the panic. Has the MOD's story changed in the last four years, and if not shouldn't their version of events be mentioned? 86.132.138.205 23:42, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
"At exactly the same time, a new anti-aircraft rocket fired nearby. No-one had ever heard it before. All those waiting to enter the tube were panic stricken, assuming this was a new kind of enemy bomb." - source - https://bethnalgreenlondon.co.uk/tube-disaster-history/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.99.210.174 ( talk) 19:21, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
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)
I have used that station since the 1950's and there has never been a spiral staircase there. A book is available called "Tragedy at Bethnal Green" which is the public inquiry report and which has photographs of the staircase in question, and it is still, today, as it was then. Also, where does the bit about the council being unable to afford improvements or people suing the council come from? According to the original inquiry repory, the council applied to improve the entrance but were not allowed to by the relevant government department, and the council had repeatedly complained that it was hazadous and their warnings were ignored by those who could have authorised the work. 82.26.57.60 ( talk) 20:47, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
I have seen articles about this but have no references. The council had applied for improvements to be made, but these were not authorised. The court cases revolved around the argument that the council ought to have warned people using the shelter that it was felt that the entrance was potentially hazardous, but that they had failed to do so. 86.5.25.124 ( talk) 11:10, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
