A GROUP of passengers found themselves trapped inside a tube station after striking workers locked the door.
The commuters were stranded at South Ruisli in the early hours of
this morning when they got off the last Metropolitan Line train to High
Wycombe.
When they tried to exit the station just after midnight the unlucky travellers realised they were stuck.
They
were left waiting for almost an hour until a worker finally arrived to
free them…but not before some plucky passengers attempted a daring
escape over a barbed wire fence.
Passenger Beren Reid, 22, said:
"The tunnel that goes under the mainline tracks and onto the station
concourse had been shut off and padlocked at the point where it joins
the underground passageway. "
From there we could see that the
exits at the front of the building had also been shut off, and we tried
calling out and rattling the gate to get the attention of tube staff but
nobody came."

Hindu god Hanuman.
