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?


"Services have now resumed both ways between White City and Marble
Arch, but are running with severe delays. TfL said arrangements
were being made to move the east-bound train as soon as possible."

If they were able to resume the service in both directions with the
failed eastbound train still in position (as the BBC report
implies), that would certainly be newsworthy!


It was broken again, suspended between White City and Leytonstone IIRC,
by 19:30 tonight. Not reported on the BBC, or so it seems.
