LUL : Service Disruption on the Central Line

The Central Line has a suspended service between North Acton Station
and Ealing Broadway Station in both directions.

This will affect journeys from 16:25 on 16/11/06 until further notice.

This is due to vandalism at North Acton Station.

Is there any information available as to what has happened?


Service was closed this morning, I vaugely remember the 06:xx travel
news saying that North Acton - Ealing and NA to Ruislip were suspended,
by 11:00 it was Ealing only, only minor delays then, however traction
was turned off approaching 11:30 at White City, no idea why as I got
off at shepherds bush and walked.

18:00 tonight, services were chaotic. One train every 4 minutes White
City - Hainhalt (one of them was a destination of "Hainhault", with no
"Via Newbury Park"! Change at Leytonstone for Epping, White City for
Ruislip. Packed travelling Eastbound at shepherds bush, so you can
imagine what Oxford Circus was like.
