Canary Wharf tube station closed after “smoke on platforms”

Canary Wharf station has been closed this morning after “smoke” reportedly appeared on platforms.

TfL state the issue was in fact dust from tunnels blown into platforms due to a faulty fan. Canada Water station was also briefly closed.

The line has recently been operating a reduced service due to train faults discovered a couple of weeks ago.

10:00 Update: The station has now reopened.

I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

  • There was a fair bit of smoke at North Greenwich too around 9am, though the station remained open. I’m glad I read this I was genuinely thinking my eyesight had worsened
