Tube workers have been praised for their response to last night's minor explosion at Southgate Underground station.

Five people were injured following the blast at the entrance to the station in Enfield at about 19:00 BST.

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said the incident demonstrated how important it is to have "properly trained staff".

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash added: “Whilst this incident appears not to be terror-related, the possibility of an attack is always on our minds and safety is our absolute priority.

“It is absolutely right and correct that the Southgate London Underground staff are receiving praise today for their professionalism in the face of another serious incident on the tube network.”

However, RMT has expressed concerns over what it describes as London Underground's initial lack of speed and clarity in reporting what was happening.

The union said it hopes these concerns will be addressed in a review of the incident.

Passengers who bought cheap British Airways flights say they are angry after their tickets were cancelled because the prices were wrong.

The airline said it had sent incorrect fares to a number of travel agents for flights to Tel Aviv and Dubai.

Ash Dubbay, from London, says he had booked a return flight to Tel Aviv for £195 but now has to pay about £1,000.

BA has apologised and offered full refunds and a £100 voucher. The company refused to say how many were affected.

Mr Dubbay, from Golders Green, said he booked his tickets for Tel Aviv two-and-a-half weeks before he was due to travel.

He said he booked the flights through a travel agent, Travel Up, for a three-day trip for a family wedding and memorial service.

Travel Up have been contacted for comment.

Labour's leadership opposes plans for a third runway at Heathrow but will give its MPs a free vote on the proposals, the party has announced.

Support for expansion was conditional on four tests being met but the Government blueprint falls short, shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald said.

Labour has called on all parties to offer a free vote when the plans go before MPs.

Boris Johnson is one of a number of senior Tories who have campaigned against expansion for many years and it is widely expected the Foreign Secretary will be away on business when the vote takes place.
