Why would this happen?
On the piccadilly line around midday in the front car going north. We
waited a while for a train so unlikely anything was in front of us but we stop between manor house and turnpike lane anyway. 2 minutes later I hear the drivers door opening then 10 seconds later we're off with no further stops in the tunnel. We get to turnpike and driver gets out to use platform phone. Another 2 minutes we're off again to wood green , yet again no stops , where the driver again gets out to use the platform phone. After that it was a normal journey. What was going on ? B2003 |

Other than that I cannot think of a reason. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
