"Would Inspector Sands please go to the operations room immediately?" was broadcast on a continuous loop in the station on Friday morning. A few minutes later a different announcement was broadcast over the tannoy asking everyone to leave the station immediately due to a "reported emergency."
According to Londonist, the Inspector Sands code is deployed in instances where fires break out on public transport in the UK.
