Default District line fire

What happened to the District Line east of Plaistow? I heard there was
a fire at Barking on Friday, but still disrupted today?


A major amount of line side cabling completely burnt out affecting traction
supplies, signalling and telecoms. Expected to take 5 or 6 days to rewire
and test apparently, so possibly still out of action until Thursday...
