I was on the Tube on Monday and heard that the Drain was "partially
suspended". I wasn't able to hear any more details as my train left
the station, but I wondered how you could partially suspend such a
simple route. What actually happened?

Leak at Waterloo meant people could not board trains there. They ran
empty to Bank to provide a service back to Waterloo. Considering this
was in the evening peak period it makes sense to offer a service from
the City back to Waterloo if it's possible.

Curiously the (TfL driven) screen on the King's Cross main line concourse
just said "Suspended". I was going to ask here but forgot. Thanks for
resolving the mystery anyway.
