How many trains fail across the country in the course of a normal day,
resulting in pax detraining? Is it really as newsworthy as the BBC seem to
think?

In fairness, it is causing some very severe delays. It started just after 9
o'clock this morning and is still going on now. Considering that both White
City and Ruislip have depots, I am surprised that there are so few trains
running between those stations (and Ealing Broadway) in peak time this
evening. They can't have all the trains the other side of London; the
westbound service also came to a halt this morning because the trains were
stacking up. So where have all these trains gone?

Put away in depots after drivers refused to drive them "in the
interests of health & safety" after a bit fell off of one of them at
Holland Park this morning (here we go again...). And poor Bob Crow is
probably stuck in Brighon for the TUC Conferance!
