How many trains fail across the country in the course of a normal day,
resulting in pax detraining? Is it really as newsworthy as the BBC seem to
think?

"Services have now resumed both ways between White City and Marble Arch,
but are running with severe delays. TfL said arrangements were being
made to move the east-bound train as soon as possible."

If they were able to resume the service in both directions with the
failed eastbound train still in position (as the BBC report implies),
that would certainly be newsworthy!

As the sign at White City station says: "There is no eastbound trains" (and
seemingly not very many westbound ones either)

It was broken again, suspended between White City and Leytonstone IIRC,
by 19:30 tonight. Not reported on the BBC, or so it seems.

The TfL website is now saying:

Suspended between Ealing Broadway/West Ruislip and Leytonstone, and between
Hainault and Woodford, severe delays elsewhere, due to an earlier incident
at Holland Park

So I saw. What happened? And why wasn't it apparent at 16:00?

The entrance of the BBC News Centre (located within the BBC Television
Centre) is almost across the road from White City Underground station
on the Central line, which is very useful for BBC staff to get to work
on...

That says it all really, I expect we'll be in for daily updates on the H&C
as well when (the new) Wood Lane opens then...

Not today. I'm still at work (in TVC), severe delays on the way in, to
an extra hour. On the way back had a phone call from collegue saying
nothing eastbound and 3tph westbound. It was clsoed from White City to
Marble arch then.

It extended to Liverpool street, and now leytonstone, meaning no
alternative routes.

It's been 12 hours since the failure, and just got worse, what the
hell is going on?

Apparently RMT members refuse to drive trains because of safety
concerns. I guess they want to recover lost time off...
