This looks a very serious incident. Tfl says it is investigating & problem seems to have been a mechanical fault with a ventilation fan. It’s not clear why the doors didn’t open. DMs open & confidential ..

Stuck on the train at Clapham Common and carriages filling with smoke, doors won’t open if it wasn’t for workmen on the platform we wouldn’t have got out! @TfL you should be ashamed! The response from station staff was horrific! @SkyNews @BBCNews @itvnews

Both the army and the RSF in Sudan have agreed to extend the ceasefire by 72 hours. Progress but there has been fighting during the first 3 days of the truce. Any chance of peace talks to stop the war?
