Default Rail replacement mystery

Yes they would - or more pertinently I did. The set up for these
replacement services is barking mad IMO. Worse there were emergency
engineering works this morning thus shutting the line down between
Highbury and KX - my guess is that the crossover failed to work properly
and something went "ping". This despite promises made by Metronet that
all would be well. I am dreading Monday morning as it will be a miracle
if the line restarts on time with a full service.


The emergency engineering work in the morning was caused by fact that
protection for the possession for the engineering work could not be put in
until late due to the incident at Highbury on Friday evening.
