According to the report, five times a year ruptured water mains cause flooding on the Tube network, while even holding the water at bay is a full-time task. A 2014 freedom of information (FOI) request to Transport for London revealed 1.4 million cubic metres of water are discharged from the Underground network into London’s sewer system by pumping stations installed across the system. At least 170 pump controller units are installed across the London Underground, gathering data and being remotely operated when needed to alleviate the impact of flooding. And most of the stations situated on the flood plain have had flood doors installed.

On 18 November 1987, fire broke out in an escalator at King's Cross St Pancras tube station. The resulting fire cost the lives of 31 people and injured a further 100. London Underground was strongly criticised in the aftermath for its attitude to fires underground, and publication of the report into the fire led to the resignation of senior management of both London Underground and London Regional Transport. [80] Following the fire, substantial improvements to safety on the Tube were implemented - including the banning of smoking, removal of wooden escalators, installation of CCTV and fire detectors, as well as comprehensive radio coverage for the emergency services.
