How many trains fail across the country in the course of a normal day,
resulting in pax detraining? Is it really as newsworthy as the BBC seem to
think?

The entrance of the BBC News Centre (located within the BBC Television
Centre) is almost across the road from White City Underground station
on the Central line, which is very useful for BBC staff to get to work
on...


Not today. I'm still at work (in TVC), severe delays on the way in, to
an extra hour. On the way back had a phone call from collegue saying
nothing eastbound and 3tph westbound. It was clsoed from White City to
Marble arch then.

It extended to Liverpool street, and now leytonstone, meaning no
alternative routes.

It's been 12 hours since the failure, and just got worse, what the
hell is going on?
