Default Underground Chocolate Machines

I know they can be a bit of a lottery (half the fun really!) but I like the
fact you can pick up an emergency chocolate dosage at a tube station (not
Victoria Line at Victoria though for some reason) if I need one.

The odd thing travelling on the tube today is that every single chocolate
machine I saw at every station I either changed at or passed through (at
least 30 odd I reckon)had a sign on it saying it was out of order.

Has the chocolate machine equivilent of the RMT declared a strike or is
their a more sinister reason?

Close - in another thread it has been reported:

'The chocolate machines have been turned off as one machine was not only
dispensing them, but cooking them at the same time, so LU decided to
reduce the risk of a fire and turn them off.'

If LU hadn't turned them off you can presume there would have been a major
'safety issue' and we know what happens then..
