LT are reporting "Code Amber". All trains being stopped at

Just out of interest, how exactly does this work? I can't help
feeling that there are usually more trains on the system than
there are stations, and that therefore some trains get stopped
between stations. Do they detrain people in the tunnel and get
them to walk along to a station? Or do they hold trains in the
tunnel until the train ahead has been emptied and shunted forward?

I don't know exactly how it works, but I think that there are more
trains than stations only in your imagination. I am sure that some
body will be along in due course to give us the exact numbers.

On the Victoria line there are 15 stations or 31 platforms and 37
trains during the peaks.

I think there are 16 stations on the Victoria Line - but your point is
taken.
