We received a report of a faulty train at #ClaphamCommon shortly before 6pm this evening, and we are aware of a video showing passengers trying to leave the train. The issue is believed to have been caused by brake dust which can often be confused with burning.
A new water fountain has been installed on #ClaphamCommon along the path beside the basketball court.

I found myself in what appeared to be a shooting incident at Clapham Common a bit earlier. Loads of police cars, a helicopter, ambulances. Is that a bullet hole in the first photo? Roads all blocked and cordoned off. #Claphamcommon
