Default Derailment on the district line

I got my daily delay text message from the tube this morning and it
said:

"TravelAlert 07:46: DELAYSistr btwn Wimbledon & EdwareRd from05:40 -
a derailment"

Anyone got any info on this?


A C stock train derailed as it was leaving the main line to enter the
depot. The track was quite badly damaged. Work went on right through the
night to get the derailed train back on the tracks. The plan was to
restore the full service later on today but it seemed to get sorted
during the morning period from what I've seen on the LU service page.
