I understand that there a 12 hour overrun on engineering work on the
Wimbledon branch recently. Can any body tell me what happened? Kevin |

I understand that there a 12 hour overrun on engineering work on the Wimbledon branch recently. Can any body tell me what happened? I can't explain what happened, but I noticed a poster at Turnham Green on the evening of Tuesday 11 October containing an apology by Balfour Beatty for disruption on the Wimbledon branch that morning. An engineering overrun was my first thought. But a 12-hour overrun seems unlikely, as that would imply services not restored until around 17:00, which was roughly when I saw the poster. But it must have been bad to have the poster printed. The Evening Standard that evening reported District Line disruption but gave no details. -- Richard J.

IIRC services did resume in the early afternoon, I was able to get a train home that day around 3pm but there were still severe delays being advertised. It may be that the work was due to finish in the very earky hours, i.e about 3am, which would allow traction current to be recharged - after all the section that was being worked on is national rail track and they may have wanted the area handed back earlier. |
