    A driverless train ran for almost four miles on the London Underground on Friday morning.

    The engineering train, which does not carry passengers, became uncoupled as it was being towed on the Northern line between Archway and Warren Street stations.

    The incident, which happened at 0640 BST, is being investigated.

    Transport for London (TfL) said the train was slow moving and there was no safety risk.

    A TfL spokesperson said: "A full investigation has been launched into this incident."
