A video shared widely on social media appeared to show a number of protesters on top of a Jubilee Line train at Canning Town station in East London.
Climate activists had planned to target London's underground network on Thursday, as part of their ongoing demonstration in the capital city.
Extinction Rebellion said the actions were "intended to bring economic disruption to the capital as part of the ongoing campaign to convince the Government to take meaningful action on the Climate and Ecological Emergency."

Pretty radical dude, this indeed was a fearsome situation, apparently, the protesters are those who got on top of the trains, watch them pulled down from the trains here via a CNN tweet, see video:

Pretty unreal, a real mob action but I have little sympathy for the protesters, they are holding up everyone. They shouldn't get kicked or whatever, and good for the woman I see in there who kind of wards someone away from doing that.
This is that "Extinction Rebellion", I've heard a little about it.
