If it does turn out to be yet another bit falling off a train , could
this be the end of the line for the 92 stock?
Unlikely. Something falling off is more likely to be the result of poor
maintenance - even if there was a design defect in the first place that
resulted in nuts working loose as a result of vibration then they should
have been spotted and replaced with a more secure fitting by the operators.
Howard Collins, deputy chief operating officer for London Underground,
said something resembling "sheeting" had obstructed the track.
"Initial reports from the driver are he saw something white flapping
in the tunnel, before he hit it. There was a loud noise and then he
hit the brakes," he said.
