I have now had a reply from customer services....

My questions a
1. Why did the only audiable announcment say "because of an earlier
incident" instead of a reason and why did the LU chap on the platform with
the white wand not do any announcments?

Apparently it is now the tubes policy to provide the shortest announcment
possible. Don't know why, we were standing there long enough to hear a more
precise announcment


2. Why couldn't the empty Ealing Broadway train which was immediately
behind another Ealing bdy train have been made into a Wimbledon one?

She completely missed my point and said sometimes trains are swapped around
and this is done to the best of the signalers ability, If that was the case
there wouldn't have been Ealing Bdy trains with 6 or so people per carriage
and then eventually a Wimbledon train with commuter style two rows of people
between the seats, body parts touching, not all fitting on.


3. Why were there no C stock trains around in either direction

She said there were. Wonder were they were - we didn't pass any after
leaving Earls Ct. There were long gaps of time when they could have come
into platform 4 aswell. Could they have all been queueing for Edgware Road?

4. Why is it always the Wimbledon branch that is most affected?
and finally 4. When will the tubes ETA service be expanded to the
District line


Apparently the whole line is always affected as badly - hmm in that case I
must have imagined the overcrowding
