Massive Neasden fire halts London Tube and disrupts rail services

TL;DR Summary
A large fire at a Wembley-area waste transfer facility in Neasden prompted 125 firefighters and 20 engines to tackle the blaze, leading to a full suspension of the Metropolitan line and partial shutdowns on the Jubilee line, with London Marylebone services delayed or cancelled due to blocked lines. Smoke was visible across central London, and residents were advised to keep windows closed. The cause is unknown but no injuries were reported; an Amazon delivery facility on the site was evacuated as a precaution, and travel disruption is expected to extend into Friday evening rush hour.
