STRANDED AFTER LAST TRAIN.
THOUSANDS WALK HOME.
TUBE RAILWAYS CROWDED,
(Received This Day, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, May 2
The presence of the Cup tie crowds, combined .until the usual crush of Londoners, led to remarkable scenes in London at midnight. Crowds who had been relying on the tube railways for getting home in the absence of buses, found the stations already blocked and the trains packed. Many were stranded on the platforms when the last trains departed and sought taxis in vain. These were all engaged and thousands of people had a long tramp home. All those possessing cars used them to go to the theatres, resulting in unprecedented traffic blocks when the audiences poured out into the stieets again.
