How could the Central Line be running a good service this evening around
half seven when there was a gap of eight minutes for the next train?


Unfortunately a "good service" in LU speak simply means some trains are
running.


It doesn't even mean that. *In the past, they've claimed the Victoria
Line has a Good Service when the entire line was at a standstill due to a
broken down train!


They can't even open the ticket offices when they are supposed to. The
ticket office in the Tube ticket hall at Kings Cross is supposed to
open from 05:00 - 00:45 on Monday - Friday, even under the new opening
hours. However this morning at 06:45 not a single window was open.
"Staff shortage" I suppose.
