Yes, it was indeed truly execrable. It would be fascinating to know
what actually happened, but no danger of that from reading the
Standard, which yet again gas been found to be journalistically very
sub-Standard.

A follow up tonight from Dick Murray in the "Evening Standard", regarding a
broken power shoe that disabled a Jubilee line train just short of Stanmore.
Actually, a much better written article than last week's - although he still
managed to refer back to the incident mentioned in the earlier article and
repeated the assertion that "a signal box" fell off the train!

I don't think most lay people would remotely have a problem with the
"signal box" description - it's a box that contains signalling kit,
innit. "Signalling boxes" in the conventional sense, such as they
exist on the Underground, aren't on the whole very visible to the
travelling public on the network.

(Ignoring what might actually now be inside them)
Wembley Park ?
Edgware Road ?
