The Met Line Twitter account last night gave details of a fire in the buildings above Preston Road station. I hope the link below works.
I hope all were OK. The fire seemed to be more above the Chiltern Lines and that line and the Met were closed.
I got home before the incident but it must have caused chaos for many.
I have noticed over the years boards put up against some of the balconies that overlook the station and lines. Is the building still in active use?

My girlfriend got caught up in this and it took her an hour and half to get from Uxbridge to Wembley Park. The front of the building at least still looked in pretty current use when I was last there a couple of months ago.

Many years ago, I was going to live in one of the flats above what is now the Chiltern lines.
The whole place was covered in a kind of slime from the diesel exhaust.

According to London Fire Brigade one person was taken to hospital, but there is no report on their condition. The cause of the fire is believed to be discarded smoking materials. |
