So my wife has got stuck because of the victoria line being down. Just
how many "signal" failures per day are there? Would it not be possible
to design something which doesn't fail quite so damn often and also
design procedures so reversing trains doesn't take forever so at least
the rest of the line can continue running some semblance of a service?

I was caught up in all that at Finsbury Park and managed to get on a
Piccadilly line train. Then it was stood at the platform for a good 5-6
minutes being "regulated".

At one time the most frightening sound on the Underground was "This is
Northern Line Information". Now it's being given a challenge by "This
train will be held here to be regulated".

Why keep an already over full train stood at the platform ? People get
stressed, LU staff get stressed, and you could tell the driver was
getting stressed.

Pointless jobsworth regulation doesn't help the public and it doesn't do
much good for LU staff.

I wasn't surprised when the Pic Line was delayed because of a passenger
being taken off a train at Kings Cross..... keep people crushed like
cattle unnecessarily and they'll get ill !!
