"A runaway Northern Line train went through six stops on a 13-minute
journey on the Tube this morning, with other Underground trains having
to be cleared out of its path. "

There is a video, but it won't play where I am.

Not a browser problem, then.

I don't know whether to commiserate, but maybe a couple hours
railfanning would be in order. As long as the Korean cops don't get upset.

That would be nice, but I am on geoje island, which has no sign of
railways.  Shipyards, yes.  Trains, no.  The ferry sailed under this
bridge on the way here: http://www.korea.net/detail.do?guid=46157 but
it's not yet in use.  The bridge is a road bridge, the railway on that
page is between Busan and it's airport. Nice to see peeps buildng
railways, mind.  They are building a TGV style network, and the
national operator has grandiose plans to connect to Europe when the
country is re-unified (!) :
