What a crazy evening!! It really shows the utter disaster that multiple train operating companies causes and the VERY poor communication to customers about what to do. So my route to Carpenders Park originally started as, the Underground / Overground are still running so I'll get Bakerloo at Embankment all the way to Harrow and then switch to Overground..... foiled at Kilburn Park when driver announced turning short at Stonebridge Park... well I'm not going to wait there...... so reverse back Baker Street (LU station staff here has no ideas or suggestions to help me get home!) - try the Met, get a Watford bound train and maybe the once every 2 hours bus from Northwood to Carpenders Park will show up.... there's a match on at Wembley and the train is packed!! I squeeze on. Check my phone between Wembley and Harrow and it looks like the status update on TfL website has said line reopened, without saying line reopened!! So, I get off at Harrow and ask the station staff...... well done LU Harrow-on-the-Hill staff, you knew what I asked and confirmed Overground had reopened .... YAYYY, so back 1 stop to Northwick Park, walk to Kenton, wait 10 mins for Overground, running 15 down and get to my destination and home. What a polava!! What is really annoying is that when you are on a train there's no information coming to you about a closure until it is too late - that's why I say VERY poor communication. I am sure it will have been a difficult incident to deal with.
