Wires or pantograph down on NLL, 2 June 2010

I understand that yesterday evening (2 June) there was some sort of OHLE/pantograph problem between Camden Road and Kentish Town West which resulted, so I'm told, in the whole of the NLL service being suspended, as well as the WLL north of Shepherds Bush. Can anyone throw any light on what actually happened? *Also, why couldn't they at least run NLL/WLL services west and from Willesden Junction? Possibly my informant was misled by the Live Travel News on the TfL site. *Due to a signal failure today at Norwood Junction (ELL), it currently shows the entire London Overground network as affected by severe delays: ELL/NLL/WLL/DC! There is a post on "District Dave's" board that suggests the widespread loss of service was the result of the initial power isolations. Once breakers were used service was restored west of Willesden Junction. It seems a Class 66 was used to tow out stranded 378s on the section that had no power. I also note with some surprise that a signal failure at Norwood Junction apparently now has the power to affect the Goblin and the Euston - Watford service. Methinks the people updating the map haven't quite got the hang of how the Overground network fits together or the info they are receiving is less than clear - take your pick! -- Paul C via Google. |
