It is very odd that the TfL website doesn't seem to deal with Overground
service status terribly well.
It looks like the NLL and Euston Watfords are suffering a bit "due to an
unusually large passenger flow" - what a lovely turn of phrase.
They're crowded enough in the a.m. peak on a normal day (to the point
of people regularly being left behind on the platform) - I was a bit
surprised that media reports were emphasising that the route was
running, as most people wouldn't have a hope of getting on.
And on top of the strike, the London Midland service was well and
truly stuffed by a signal failure in the Carpenders Park area.
So I imagine the sport of "how many people can you fit in a 313?" was
well practised this morning.
