A fully-fledged rave on the London Underground got broken up by the police
'We would kindly ask DJs to refrain from using the Tube as a pop up club," said Transport Police.
A "fully-fledged" rave was broken up British Transport Police on the London Underground on Monday evening (10 April). The "light hearted" event on the Bakerloo Line saw commuters dancing alongside flashing lights, loud music, a disco ball and a headphone-clad MC.
YouTube user Svenskier filmed the jam-packed fun inside of Regent's Park station, a stone's throw from landmarks such as London Zoo and Madame Tussauds. "Not your normal Monday night on the Bakerloo line," he said.
The stunt seems to be carried out by TrollStation, a popular YouTube stunt channel with almost one million subscribers and more than 300 million views.
"Our content is intentionally provocative and controversial with the aim to get reactions from the general public in the name of comedic satire and entertainment. Trollstation is a collective of social misfits playing mad mind games on the public," a statement on the group's page said.
British Transport Police spokesperson said: "At 10.40pm yesterday evening, BTP officers were called to the northbound Bakerloo platform at Paddington station after reports of a party on board a Tube.
"Officers attended and spoke with a man who agreed to turn off the speakers and the light systems, they then left the station.
"Whilst officers relish any opportunity to experience underground drum and bass, we'd kindly ask DJs to refrain from using the Tube as a pop-up club. It may be the Easter holiday but there is a time and a place and we'd ask everyone to consider other passengers using the network."
