It is dealing with the damaged tunnel lining between Baker St and Bond
St. The tunnel rings are being slowly replaced in a series of
engineering possessions.

Any information on what caused the damage?

says
"The primary cause of the damage was clay shrinkage in the
ground around the tunnel, LU principal tunnel engineer Keith
Bowers told NCE. Other factors, including probable issues with
the quality of design and construction, are thought to have
worsened the problem."

More than likely its 99% the latter given that other lines sitting in the
same clay haven't had problems with their tunnels rings in 100 years.
