The Met line was delayed very early this morning with the above explanation.
Just what does this LU euphemism mean? Martin J. |

... The Met line was delayed very early this morning with the above explanation. Just what does this LU euphemism mean? Martin J. It means one of the drivers had a bad nights sleep, and so a strike was called for a few minutes, to allow him to catch up. I'm joking, folks. |

Fri, 11 Feb 2005, Martin J remarked: The Met line was delayed very early this morning with the above explanation. Just what does this LU euphemism mean? With railway stations it normally means that part of the roof has either blown away, or looks like falling down. Failing that, a train has hit the platform edge and a repair is needed. -- Roland Perry |

I think it meant late finish to engineering work (again....), in this case on the footbridge leading from the Met platforms to the canteen (as bits of bridge concrete have fallen off lately). Unlike the same day at Queens Park, where the same phrase meant canopy guttering falling off and hitting a train. |
