CENTRAL LINE: Suspended between North Acton and Ealing Broadway due to emergency engineering work. A good service is operating on the rest of the line.
Does anyone know what was wrong?? Must be something serious as they are saying it will be closed for the rest of the day?

Might not be quite so serious. With the carnival, I'd guess that only really serious work will be undertaken as the knock on problems could be serious.
Could be the points around North Acton. Possibly the junction. Being secured to West Ruislip. To suspend the service to fix the problem would cause a shut down west of North Acton, possibly White City. And wth the carnival massive, ouch.

There was a trackside fire on Sunday night at Ealing Broadway, which has damaged cabling for signalling equipement.

Just found out that it was caused by a National Rail vehicle, igniting something (probably litter!) under the cable run! Hopefully Metrodebt will be abated for this... if the litter was on LUL property!   ;D |

I see something weird tonight whilst going into Ealing. There were Metronet staff on the Central line track, obviously no trains running but the home was clear with a route into platform 5, this signal is normally only ever clear on the approach of a train, so the equipment was obviously overridden for testing. It was just a sight I've never seen before.

Hmmm. Cable integrity checks, methinks. |

I remember the BTP said last week it was the biggest offence committed on the railways, save graffitti.
