om...
How can a signal failure on the jubilee line cause so much chaos?? If

its
affecting the ATO why can't they just drive the trains manually through

the
affected section? Or has more than just a signal gone wrong and they

don't
want to tell us?


Bear in mind that the Green Park - Charing Cross section contains both the
change-over from 'original' to 'new' signalling and the junction to

Charing
Cross. I don't know the full details of the failure, but suspending the
service isn't something considered lightly, despite what some people

think.

Tell us what you mean by "just a signal gone wrong" and perhaps you'll be
told more...

Plus it would have been nice if LU had listened to what people were

saying
about using Charing X as a backup terminus instead of just closing the
jubilee platforms and walling up the escalators for no good reason.


Money?

Still , if the powers that be there had brains they wouldn't have been

working
for LU in the first place I guess...


Oh change the record, please! Perhaps the people who had brains were

working
for that wonderful private company Westinghouse Signals, or then again,
obviously not!
