I understand that there a 12 hour overrun on engineering work on the
Wimbledon branch recently. Can any body tell me what happened?

I can't explain what happened, but I noticed a poster at Turnham Green
on the evening of Tuesday 11 October containing an apology by Balfour
Beatty for disruption on the Wimbledon branch that morning. An
engineering overrun was my first thought. But a 12-hour overrun seems
unlikely, as that would imply services not restored until around 17:00,
which was roughly when I saw the poster. But it must have been bad to
have the poster printed. The Evening Standard that evening reported
District Line disruption but gave no details.
