The Transport and travel union is calling for a ban on e-scooters on the train and tube network.

It’s after a fire at Parsons Green Tube Station on Monday evening. 

An e-scooter lithium battery is believed to have caught fire on an underground train and continued to blaze on the platform.

Passengers were forced to abandon the train due to the fire and smoke inhalation. 

The TSSA is branding e-scooters a “significant threat”.
