So the Victoria line was severely disrupted for most of the morning today. There was however this interesting tweet
Does anyone know what caused all the chaos?

According to tubestatus.net/timeline/date/2018-02-09 the issue was northbound, resulting in a part suspension from circa 05:30 to circa 06:15 (the site just takes snapshots every 15 minutes so it's not possible to be more finegrained than that) There was allegedly a good service on the rest of the line, which seems impossible as the south end of the line would get full much sooner than 45 minutes after a suspension. |

The Vic does suffer alot from broken rails or faults which would be a nightmare if a speed restriction was to be put in i.e broken fishplate, bolts etc
I really dont know what went on but this has been the case in recent weeks for first thing in the mornings

A combination of signalling problems at Walthamstow Central from the start of traffic and a broken rail at King's Cross requiring a re-rail. Essentially the Vic was running in two sections, Brixton-Victoria and Highbury-Walthamstow.

There was also a defective train at Green Park at some point just to add to the chaos!

Still having problems in Night Tube hours.
From TfL status updates:

Victoria Suspended
Victoria Line: No service on the entire line while we fix a signal systems failure. London Buses accepting valid London Underground tickets via any reasonable route.

Looks like the signal system issues came back with vengeance this morning resulting in a one hour suspension of the service between approx 08:45 and 09:45. As of now (12:50) services are operating with minor delays whilst gaps in the service are plugged.

London Buses accepting valid London Underground tickets via any reasonable route. I expect someone’s going to get summoned to receive a rollicking on Monday morning. They probably upgraded it from XP to Vista 😂 |
