Sorry to trouble but does anyone have any information as to what is
going on with the Central Line these days ...?
Having met with various (excuses?) reasons for the grim service right
now (varying from `overrunning engineering works', `signal failure',
`multiple signal failure' and `signalling systems failure') I am
curious as to how the line has ended up running so badly recently, with
constant and continuous delays.
Many thanks to anyone who might be able to shed some light

I saw a poster at Bank station the other day which mentioned that a
new Central Line timetable was due to start on Monday. Given that the
Central Line is now automated, I'd assume that on Sunday night/Monday
morning Metronet would have had to 'load' the new timetable onto the
signalling control system. Maybe this upload didn't go according to
plan?
