There was a new diagram added today and another is planned for next week.

We stood at H North for nearly an hour till it emerged there wouldn't be any trains till at least 8:30pm - in practice I don't think anything ran via H North for the rest of the evening.
Unless it was a wires down issue, which I don't think it was, there needs to be a better method of rescuing a failed train.
As ever the longer the failed unit sits stationary, the more 'no drivers available' becomes the issue for the rest of the shift.
One failed train - how many cancelled as a consequence - 25+?
Small battery Thunderbird anybody - sitting in platform 4 GH (re-instated) keeping charged off the OLE?
How long was the OLE off as that would preclude another OLE unit approaching.How do they move one now? Get another unit to pull it to a siding?

I agree with you it poses some questions.
How does LUL deal with a failed tube and how long does it take - do they practice a routine?
Was on the 16.37 from Bowes Park to Stevenage yesterday.
The overhead wires tripped off when we were at Cuffley, then again at Burford. After a while the driver came on a said it was our train causing the wires to trip.
After about 40 mins I gave up and got picked up by a cab. But the train didn't look like it was going anywhere. Anyone got any idea what the issue might have been?
So it was a 717 that failed - the station chap at H N said he thought it was a 313It is funny how twitter users always assume it is 313 that has failed. “When will you get rid of these old trains”. The social media team could respond. “It is actually the new trains that keep breaking down.” (They don’t of course but it would be funny to put them assuming the 313s are the more unreliable in their place) All my delays last week were either 717 failures or driver shortages.

If anyone gets a chance to do so...can you please take a picture of or record the plated unit and vehicle weights for one of these please.
Many thanks in advance.
That's perfect. Thank you very very much.The things at https://www.flickr.com/photos/jellybabynetworks/albums/72157710664218441 ?
(Too big to upload directly here and I can't easily shrink them right now)
Coincidence? Bad batch of trains? Software upgrade?Currently on a 717 at Hornsey... Again with no power....

People are still getting confused by the doors not opening, especially those on the platforms.
Yes, it was one of thoseAnyone know if it was a 717 or a 313 which broke down at Drayton Park this morning?
I think it would be a 717 as it would be the 0754 from WGC.
