London: A railway track which lies in the shadow of a London tower block gutted by a deadly blaze this week was closed on Saturday as the fire brigade worked to clear up debris inside the building.
London Fire Brigade requested that parts of the Circle and Hammersmith and City line be closed.
"The Brigade advised that a section of track be temporarily closed due to the short term risk of some debris from the tower falling onto the track," a London Fire Brigade spokeswoman said.
"Specialist urban search and rescue teams are currently securing loose debris right now so the station can open again."
The track in question is above ground and lies a stone's throw away from Grenfell Tower, where at least 30 people died on Wednesday after a fire engulfed the building.
