So what's going wrong with the Jubilee line?

Every other day there seems to be some major signal failure or even
worse such as last nights power failure. Are there any competant engineers
left in this country?

Or railway managers?

Given the incompetence of the Standard's reporting today, I'm not sure
what happened last night, but something fell off a train or a trackside
cabinet and shorted the current rails. This was apparently in east
London. Why then was it necessary for passengers in north-west London
to be detrained along the tracks? Don't we have section switches any
more to enable parts of the line to run when others have the current
switched off?

To shut down the entire Jubilee Line for many hours because of a single
incident at one location is ridiculous. Or is there more to this fiasco
than is apparent from news reports?
