Activists glue themselves to train at Canary Wharf
Two climate change activists from British organization Extinction Rebellion have climbed on top of a commuter train at London’s Canary Wharf.
The pair have each glued a single hand to the top of the train car to hold themselves in place and prevent officials from removing them.
A third individual has glued his hand to the side of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) train, near the carriage door.
(pull, pull!)
Authorities are on scene and have provided the pair atop the train with protective gear while they work around them.
It only caused minor delays for that line, but delays first thing in the morning as people are trying to get to work causes problems for a lot of people. You can see the dirty hippy type person who glued himself.

(City A.M.) “During the next 24 hours, these intelligence-led patrols will be in place to help keep everyone safe and to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum.â€
Extinction Rebellion protesters have already brought traffic to a standstill in Oxford Circus, Waterloo Bridge, Marble Arch, Piccadilly Circus, and Parliament Square.
Yesterday the Metropolitan Police warned the protests had closed 55 bus routes and affected half a million people.
The Met has made 290 arrests in a bid to clear routes after ordering the protesters to confine demonstrations to Marble Arch in an effort to keep London traffic running.
However, Extinction Rebellion activists have continued to swarm over London landmarks, blockading Waterloo Bridge despite police making 177 arrests there alone.
Besides causing problems for half a million people, this means police officers are being taken away from dealing with protecting people from property and violent crimes.
