BREAKING: Tube lines CLOSED fearing Grenfell Tower could COLLAPSE after fire UK Express, Jun 17, 2017
THE CIRCLE and Hammersmith and City Tube lines were closed today over safety fears Grenfell Tower could collapse.
London Underground bosses reportedly closed down the tube lines in the wake of the fire.
The Hammersmith and City Line has been suspended between Edgware Road and Hammersmith due to the blaze four days ago, Transport for London said.
The devastating fire in North Kensington, West London, is close to both lines which have stations in the area.
TFL bosses were prompted to close the tube lines in a bid to ensure public safety.
Coupled with planned engineering work, the safety concerns around the fire mean the Circle Line is closed.
A sign at Ladbroke Grove station said "owing to the safety of the Tower" the lines had been partly suspended.
Transport for London said the move had been made "at the request of the London Fire Brigade".
