I was on the H&C at Whitechapel at around 8:45 this morning heading Westbound and we were held for a good few minutes at Whitechapel due to a reversing train at Aldgate East. What happened?

Its actually the same answer as your other query. districtdavesforum.co.uk/post/433222/threadThe door defect on train 56 at Gloucester Road caused a sufficiently large gap in the eastbound service that train 63 was reversed west to east at Aldgate East to fill this gap. |

Various other trains were short tripped throughout the morning too; Parsons Green, Olympia and additional Dagenham East services were all noted. Indeed, there was also one train up as a Mansion House after the 'last", but I'm sure it was an error considering the stock... (S7) |

Ahh, now I see. I noticed T056 was right behind the reverser, I didnt put 2+2 together. Eventful morning rush then... |

(S7) S7's can reverse in the bay road at Mansion House but its very tight and must be done not in passenger service |

Yeah, last time I looked, Aldgate East was set to lose its crossover too.

Again it is but Tower Hill is to gain a scissors crossover east of the station

Is there still quite a while to go until the crossover at Embankment is removed and replaced with the scissors crossover between there and Westminster?
