Default timescale wrong

I've been pondering on what seemed wrong about my journey
yesterday, and the time of events doesn't make sense unless
London Underground had suspicions something was amiss.

I arrived at Wood Green station at 8:30 to discover it was
locked and a notice saying the service was suspended
between Arnos Grove and Kings Cross.

Yet the Piccadilly line bomb was at 08:50 ?!


I received a text alert at from TfL at 08:25 announcing services were badly
disrupted due to a train failure at Caladonian Road. To be honest that was
probably the case, if they had suspected that was the case I'm pretty sure
they would have suspended the whole service.

I ended up using Seven Sisters (normally go from Turnpike Lane), by the
time we got to Finsbury Park (about 09:15) announcements saying Kings Cross
& Euston were closed due to the power failure. After a delay of a few
minutes at Highbury & Islington trains and the station were evacuated again
due to the same reason.
