Default Victoria Line Car Numbers

I too was caught up in the Victoria Line chaos last night. My journey
was from Wimbledon to New Barnet - train to Vauxhall, VL to Highbury
then train to New Barnet. Made it as far as Pimlico, when the VL train
stopped interminably in the platform. I crossed over, got a s/b train
to Stockwell, Northern line to Moorgate then train home, arriving
about 40 minutes late.

Don't know what happened, but if it was a 'person under a train' then
for once I don't blame TfL. But why could the disruption not have
been announced on the South Eastern train at Vauxhall? After all, lots
of people make the same interchange, and staff at Vauxhall must have
known what was going on. Then I could have stayed on the train to
Waterloo and avoided the VL altogether.

A bit of joined up thinking is all it needs - is that too much to ask
of our fragmented transport system?
