Engineers are working to move the trains. Once they have moved repairs will be made to the damaged conductor rail and this may take up to 3 hours. Ah that's the issue. Looks to me like a train or something has damaged the conductor rail and as it's been knocked out of guage it will then have damaged the current collection shoes on subsequent trains. They'd then stop and lose power and it also explains why trains have been evacuated rather than moved under their own power. I did wonder why a power problem had escalated into such a big incident but when similar things have happened on the tube you end up an almighty mess to deal with. Thanks guys. I can make sense of that. Rather more limited in scope than the Clapham Junction hashtag then. Not good that still not cleared after 6 hours either. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
