    LONDON, July 7 (Xinhuanet) -- London's entire railway network was suspended Thursday after an explosion in the city's financial district injured several people, British transport police said.

    The explosion was reported near the area near Liverpool Street railway station during rush hour.

    The subway maintenance company said a power surge caused the explosion.

    London Underground reported a second incident at another subway station in northwest London, but gave no details.

    Police evacuated several tube stations after the incidents, including the busy King's Cross station in north London. Enditem
