Signal failure on the central line?

Most likely a track circuit failure perhaps? On National Rail it's often chavs stealing the wiring (for the copper). Not something that I recall happening on LU, nor indeed on the mainline railways in London itself - I'm sure it must have though. I'm speaking about people nicking wired-in wiring, which excludes this audacious attempt at theft from London Bridge station that then turned into a rather dangerous getaway attempt: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6447625.stm (Is the guy on the right pulling a face?...) |

Yes, there have been instances on LU too. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building. You will find him in London's Docklands, E16, UK (please use the reply to address for email) |
