I don't see any signs of panic. The OP is quite right to suggest that

things shouldn't happen from time to time in a new railway, least of all

one fitted out at such inordinate expense.

The line has operated quite well, since it started operating in April
2010. While mishaps are unfortunate, they do happen from time to time.

Quite so - it was quite a shock to be told that the whole system
(initially from Highbury to New Cross anyway) was down and to abandon
it. This is not the Jubilee line. Or the District/Ham&City, which I'd
just changed from.


Oh my God, what are we going to do?! We couldn't possibly take the
initiative to figure it out for ourselves now, could we?


As an aside, I had to go into central London yesterday and it really is
quite difficult to move around in places - tried to go from Bloomsbury
Way to St James area and ended up walking most of the way thanks to
either bus gridlock and bus diversions thanks to the TottCRoad works.



So, the whinging just isn't limited to the ELL, I see.
