The Met line was delayed very early this morning with the above

Just what does this LU euphemism mean?

With railway stations it normally means that part of the roof has
either blown away, or looks like falling down. Failing that, a train
has hit the platform edge and a repair is needed.

I've suddenly had 300 messages from this group appear that weren't there
earlier today!.

Apparently on Sat 5th they found some lumps of concrete on the platform
that they suspected fell from the bridge above. I assume that the delay
was related to that (either more lumps falling or remedial work being
done).
