Anyone know what's made the suspension so big?

With something that might be on the track, Traction Current sections can also extend the area, until Section Switches can be opened..... if there are any!

Nice, on the evening of a sold out Wembley Stadium for the Muse concert.

I was at work, when I heard it on the train radio, several Jubilee trains were detrained, especially around Dollis Hill, Willesden Green and West Hampstead. The Jubbly was initially suspended Wembley-West Hampstead [S/B] but then became both roads.

Was a piece of scaffolding pole fallen onto the track then got caught up under a Met.

What a shift ;D

Yes a southbound Met train struck some scaffold on the approach to Willesden Green. One other Met was stuck behind and was later moved back to Neasden for detrainment.

The Jubilee (which was closed Wembley-Stanmore for engineering works) was initially suspended north of West Hampstead to enable the incident train to be detrained.

The Met remained closed with everything turning via Neasden depot. The Jubilee service was amended to have every train run to Wembley (instead of the timetabled every other train turning at Willesden.) This gave at least some hope to the travelling Muse fans.

The Jubilee later encountered severe signalling problems in the Canary Wharf area, but thankfully my relief was in just after the start of these problems ;D
