Wow look at that Ant! A story from the BBC and a photo of a power cable exploding along its length supporting the conclusions that the 7 July London explosions were dust explosions and that there were no suicide bombers. Thanks to parallax for providing the link.
Track power surge releases flare
 The flare pictured travelling along the line | Train passengers fled a platform after a power surge sent a flare 10 foot into the air from the track.
An eye witness described people screaming as the fireball moved along the track at London Bridge station on Saturday afternoon.
Electrician Peter Difolco, 44, was returning from a shopping trip when he said there was a large flash.
"It was like a Roman candle firework, there was lots of smoke and people were screaming and running out the station."

"There was a small explosion like a firecracker. It went up quite high and started working its way down the track, it went about 120 foot and it lasted for about a minute."

Reading the article carefully, I think that this event took place at London Bridge surface station. In the confined space of an Underground tunnel the consequences would be much more serious.
