TT48 is due to resume on the Northern Line on Sunday 1 February unless
there are any last minute hitches. This is the timetable that was in
service prior to the derailment at Camden Town. There will then be a
normal service from all branches through the City and CX.

Do you know what has been done to the track and/or trains to eliminate the
risk of another derailment at the relevant set of points?

No idea.
I assume that the original set of points were replaced as they were
damaged. Nothing has been done to the trains as far as I know. You would
have to read the interim report for the reasons for the derailment and
what actions were recommended (other places as well as Camden Town were
identified as possible problem areas) because I can't remember everything
it said.

Obviously the area will have been fully checked and certified as OK and
will have satisfied HMRI before being brought back into service.

IIRC the interim report couldn't identify the reasons for the derailment.
Personally, if I were a Northern Line train op, I would want to know what
had been changed before driving over those points. Remember that nothing
was found wrong with the points or the train or the way it was being
driven, and the derailment occurred at only 20 mph.

IIRC they had identified a (very probable) cause. They didn't say
"this is it" becasue they hadn't checked everything else out. The
probable cause was a design problem on the points, which only occured
when a whole slew of things happened (including: points after sharp curve,
specific co-efficent of friction between wheels and track etc);

I'd want to know that The Powers That Be knew, and had done the
Right Thing. I would probably trust the Union Health & Safety Rep's
advice.

We were told yesterday, although that's now changed.

Change of plan again!

We were informed today that TT48 will not now be coming in on 1 Feb as
planned, no reason given at present.
