Compare this to the excellent action taken by First Great Western this
morning (I'm not making this up!) on my trip to Bristol. There was a
major signal failure between Swindon and Bristol. They immediately
rerouted my train to run via Bristol Parkway and we arrived at Bristol
on time. They managed it despite having to deal with intersecting
lines and having to find paths between other trains; why can't the
tube do it on a single line with no junctions when the disruption is
at an extreme end?

Just as well you won't going to Bath!
