Dust shuts Waterloo & City line
The Waterloo & City Line has been suspended because of dust from
weekend engineering work.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6206828.stm

Trains stopped running on the line - often referred to as the Drain -
at about 0630 GMT on Monday when drivers complained of poor visibility.

Just how poor? Couldn't they see the signals or was it just a bit
misty?
Can't see how it matters on the W&C , what are they expecting to see
ahead , a Eurostar heading towards them having taken a wrong turn at
waterloo? AFAIK theres only ever 1 train on one running line on the
W&C.
Sounds like an excuse for the drivers to have the day off.

Well the drivers would have to breath the dust in, as well as the
punters, why should they, why can't Metromess get the work that they're
being very well paid to do right?
