Sometime around last year, around Bank. I can't remember the
details, but I think the central conductor rail "fell over", rather
than the outer one.

(OK: so it was trains being stuck/delayed/canceled because the 4th
rail fell over, rather then the 3rd. And it was a rather unusual
incident.)


Happened to the pozzie at Wood Green about 7 years ago, IIRC the LUL jargon
for such an incident is "Turned Juice Rail"
