Part of the Victoria London Underground line has been suspended after wet concrete flooded a control room.

Transport for London said the mixture of concrete and water was being used to "fill voids" while upgrade work was being carried out.

Nigel Holness from London Underground said: "We've isolated the cause of it and we're hoping to get the service up and running as quickly as possible."

The line has been suspended between Warren Street and Brixton.

It looks like an emergency room toilet during a V&D epidemic... The reason for it isn't very clear at the start - I thought it was about rain somehow turning the cement liquid, not work being done next door to the room :P It's so simple, yet frustratingly for those commuters.

I should feel sorry for the people with delays, but oh my God that's just too amusing.
