What went on fire the other day at Hamilton Square station causing some disrupting until it was extinguished?

I recall getting off there on one occasion years ago when there was a strong smell of burning. We were not allowed to use the lifts but had to ascend a long tunnel which emerged onto Shore road next to a substation there.

Am I right in thinking that once Shore Road had a power station designed to power the trains under the river? I vaguely recall a building there that looked like a power station, long since demolished but it may be my memory plating tricks.

Woodside Grid Substation is alive and well in Shore Road, it is behind the pump house. It supplies the smaller British Rail Shore Road substation and others.
