London Overground train rescue

Description
This Clapham bound Overground service came to a halt between Denmark Hill and Brixton, late on the evening of 12th Sept 2018, I believe due to a power supply issue. It was stranded there for around 3 hours, before eventually a 'rescue' train arrived from the opposite direction, on the adjacent track. The two trains were lined up so that the doors matched, and then passengers were transferred out of the stranded unit via a short ramp, and taken onwards to Denmark Hill.

I gather it took until around 8am the next morning to get the faulty train out of the way.
