E-bike on fire causes disruption to Tube services

An e-bike which caught fire on a Tube station platform in north-west London caused disruption for commuters earlier.

The Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines were both suspended for a short time due to the blaze at Rayners Lane station at 11:30 GMT.

In a video posted to social media, a bike can be seen engulfed in flames on the platform next to a Tube carriage.

The fire was put out within 30 minutes by crews from London Fire Brigade and an investigation is under way. Both lines have since returned to normal service.
