DLR Stratford branch was ridiculously overloaded today as people used
it as a replacement for Jubilee line. Which reminds me of an idiocy of
having 5 minutes service on Stratford branch between peak hours, but
not during them! (and it is a permanent timetable now! what's the
point?)


Oh, yes, and the new footbridge to Central line closed less then two
months after opening with the sign "multiple hazards area" (???!)


I didn't realise what a major problem it was till I saw the huge
crowds waiting for buses along the Jubilee route this evening. I just
assumed it was a morning problem that would have been fixed.

Is there a prognosis, does anyone know?


The trouble this morning was due to a power failure that stalled some
trains. When power was restored some trains were unable to move.

Later on there were a number of trains with earths.
