While boarding my Picc train yesterday morning, I heard on the tannoy
that there were 'emergency engineering works' at Aldgate, leading to
major disruption of all the subsurface lines (and, apparently the Picc
as well). Does anyone know what happened?

Train hits scaffolding, apparently:

According to an interview I heard on LBC a train scraped some scaffolding
that was "out of gauge". I assume this means it was hanging down from the
roof and the muppet builders had built it too low. I guess they had to
dismantle it which is why it took so long to reopen everything.

It appears that you assumed incorrectly then.

It says is the post further up. But lets blame muppet builders, scaffolding
hanging from the roof, I am sure that we can Metronet in there somewhere.
