Default Victorian values

All congratulations to Metronet, who managed to leave the Victoria line
part-suspended for a sixth consecutive day (the third consecutive day
of engineering work overrun) this morning.

Although slightly less impressively than before, everything was more or
less sorted out by the end of the morning peak today rather than
dragging on for the whole day's service. Maybe they'll excel themselves
tomorrow.

Following on from previous threads, I'd like to propose a competition
to devise the most credibile apologia for Metronet's performance over
the last week. I'm sure there are plenty of people in these groups
well-equipped to rise to this challenge...
