Here's a new phenomenon: carrying out Underground track repairs whilst a train

as others have said it is nothing new. Surely you would prefer that a
running repair was made in this effective fashion rather than being
turfed off the train, the line suspended and you being delayed?

I can imagine outraged headlines saying how awful it is "to push 500
passengers off a train while the train then takes 2 engineers in full
comfort to hit a widget with a hammer. Bloody LUL - don't give a toss,
only look after their own."
