Do you think this is an isolated incident, or does it happen more
often an simply not get reported?

Given the number of trains hit I think this is an isolated incident. I
can't recall hearing about that scale of damage and certainly not in the
peak period.

I think if there were regular attacks on this scale then the media would
be publicising it.

Incidentally, I wonder if the BBC got the location wrong, as the line
between Leyton and Stratford is in tunnel, apart from the short bit
between Leyton High Road and the tunnel entrance.

Well I wondered about that too. *There is some opportunity between the
portal and Leyton station but it is limited given the A12 and housing on
the other side. *Even between Leyton and Leytonstone there isn't a huge
opportunity unless they were skulking in the cemetery.

....which doesn't seem like such an unlikely scenario.
