The Victoria line has been suspended between Victoria & Brixton since
this afternoon, due to a signal failure at Brixton. What are the
chances that it'll still be closed tomorrow morning? I have to get to
Stansted Airport by 7.15 and was hoping to get the first train (0526)
from Brixton to Tottenham Hale, and then the 0607 to Stansted, but if
there's a good chance it'll still be disrupted then I'll have to leave
earlier and get a bus to Liverpool St. Is the TfL real-time map
likely to give any information at, say 5am?
It "should" be okay in the morning. The problem has been caused by
water leaking into the air main. This is used to operate points and
trainstops. The intial reason why nothing moved earlier was because
the points couldnt be moved over to get stalled trains out of the way.
The stalled trains have now gone and the failure is now trying to be
sorted out.
