I mentioned Uxbridge, not Epping.


.... in the context of "power supply problems" - which may or may not have
been caused by iced-up conductor rails. Which were reported all over the
network:

I can't think of an explaination for the widespread disruption that
/isn't/ ice-on-the-conductor rails - something like the national
grid being unable to supply sufficent current to LUL due to their
issues would have affected the victoria, circle and bakerloo too:
and they didn't report power supply problems.

What's a plausible alternative?
