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.


I see it was still saying "Suspended" last night. Was that a G20
precaution or is the leak problem still going on?


Last night, at Waterloo, they were announcing no W&C line as Bank
station was closed due to police request.
