Canada Water and Canary Wharf stations have been evacuated, after smoke was seen coming from the Jubilee line platforms.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both stations were closed for 10 minutes after the evacuation was called at 9.45 am.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice of London was told by one passenger, \u201caround 9 o\u2019clock, I went to Canada Water but it was oddly crowded for a day like today. I was waiting at the platform, missing about 7 trains because of an immense crowding.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aasiya Lodhi who commutes from London Bridge told us, \u201cthen I heard an automated alarm and we had to walk up four floors to evacuate from the stations, but I didn\u2019t smell or see much of the dust.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesperson of Transport For London (TFL) confirmed: \u201cWe were doing testing of fans in the tunnels. It inadvertently created a dust cloud so we evacuated the stations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This is #CanadaWater<\/a> station this morning, @tfl<\/a> @LDNOverground<\/a>. Nice and cosy. Sensible in this cold weather, cheers for that. Fair to say I won’t make it to photograph the Cabinet Meeting, might get there in time for the afternoon votes…if lucky. pic.twitter.com\/MWCbnvbQjy<\/a><\/p>\n
