What was the engineering work that over ran by 3 hours this morning.
Seems an opportune time for this to happen now that TfL are proposing a
7.30 start for services on Saturdays.
It won't be even worth opening London on Sunday.

I dunno but some engineering work overran on the District line too.
And there were several signal failures and a broken train on the
Jubilee line.

Not too good today!

Points work at Seven Sisters which meant nothing could get down from the
depot. Essential safety related stuff.

So was the whole line out of use or just Kings Cross to Walthemstow. I
heard two different announcements. I went to Vauxhall via Waterloo.

The whole line was closed. I had to get 3 buses to work.

The District and Picc work was at Acton Town and was a replacement of
some points that overran.

It has not been a good week at all.

From what I keep hearing from my lab partner, it sounds like the
District line has been a complete balls-up all week.

I only travel on the Underground a couple of times a week outside rush
hours, but I got quite intimate with some fellow passengers on the
Jubilee line the other day; I was quite impressed how many people you
can fit on those trains when you *really* try...

I'm sooo glad (and lucky) I just happened to take the day off today -
that would not have been much fun.

The District was thoroughly wrecked by the overrun at Acton and the TSR
at West Ham, as well as the bustage at Edgware Road; things got so bad
that I saw a Wimbleware service terminated at platform 4 at HSK, to
allow a Circle service to run onward.

More fun was had at White City WB, as we jerkily followed a train into
the platform. Those absent points must be missed at Wood Lane...

Well, since all trains but 2 are serviced north of King's Cross, I doubt
there was any service at all


There are 4 trains outstabled at night, 2 at Brixton and 2 at Walthamstow.
Drivers book on point is Seven Sisters.
It would not be safe to run a 4 train service because of the sheer numbers
that use the Vic line, hence no service until the PPP partners had finished
and trains could be bought into service form Northumberland Park depot.
It would be interesting to compare late finish delays before and after PPP.
And the first person to say there weren't any before because no work was
done wasn't paying attention and stays behind for detention.
