Was on the Buckeroo line today, about 30 seconds prior to reaching
Oxford Circus on the southbound the train rocks violently from side
to side 5 or 6 times as if the track is going up and down or
twisted. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm surprised the train carriages didn't hit the tunnel wall the
movement was that severe.

They're doing some heavy track maintenance there - while it's ongoing
there are usually brand new sleepers in amongst the old sleepers. The
worst section suddenly gets patches of brand new track, and a bumpy
ride is inevitable. Should be fine once the job's complete.

It is getting a bit smoother - didn't notice it as much over the past
few days.
