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

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.

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.

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.

I've suddenly had 300 messages from this group appear that weren't there
earlier today!.

Apparently on Sat 5th they found some lumps of concrete on the platform
that they suspected fell from the bridge above. I assume that the delay
was related to that (either more lumps falling or remedial work being
done).
