Default What's happened to the PEDs?

On Monday 1 station was non-stopping in one direction on the Jubilee
line because the PEDs were defective; Tuesday there were 2 stations
and now today there was a third. What is going on?


Everything's going wrong this week - Walthamstow Central was closed
yesterday, There was a train stuck at Oxford Circus on the Victoria this
morning, causing massive delays, and the influx of refugees from the
Northern Line meant that getting into town from the North East has been
dreadful. As I was going to the central I changed at Finsbury Park, but the
Picadilly was as slow as the Victoria.


Indeed it was - the Victoria line driver made announcements to say what
was happening (whilst not doing them so often as to be annoying); on the
other hand, the Picc driver said nothing, even after stopping in a
tunnel for 2 minutes for the fifteeth time in 6 stops.
