Album: Busted pantograph and overhead

Comeng 532M-T-531M + 542M-T-M (the prototype seating set) became dewired from the overhead on the up side of South Kensington, destroying all 4 pantographs and pull down a fair chunk of overhead. Passengers from the rear set had to be de-trained via the tracks. An N class later picked up the damaged train.
