    Nobody likes a suspicious bomb.
    I hope all is okay and nobody gets hurt.
    Looks serious: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/east-croydon-suspicious-vehicle-station-trams-roads-closed-evacuation-latest-today-a9320636.html

    Maybe a bomb will improve Croydon?

    The station was closed for two hours after officers called to reports of a suspicious vehicle at 8.46am. The Metropolitan Police cordoned off roads in the surrounding area and sent a bomb disposal robot to to examine a car, which was found to pose no threat.

    A spokesperson said: “The vehicle was not suspicious, although is believed stolen. The road will remain closed for a short time while the vehicle is recovered. Local people and motorists are thanked for their patience.”

    I used to work just opposite the station. The NLA Tower.........the hexagonal one - aka The Fifty-pence piece tower.

    Happy days.

    This happened right outside my work building, had to evacuate, must be more to it than just a stolen car to shut down the stations

    I was there years earlier........1986 to 1988. Handy for when we were at Selhurst as I often worked overtime on a Saturday for a few hours until lunchtime & went there straight from work.

    North London Addick has a tower named after him in Croydon?
