If you’re hoping to get into work along the Central Line this morning, good luck with that.
An engineering train has derailed causing chaos that is expected to last for some time.


There will be no service between Ealing Broadway and Marble Arch until the tube train is removed after it derailed in a sidings at White City.
The driver of the train, which derailed at around 5.30am, was not injured but the track will need to undergo safety checks.

A spokesman for TfL told metro.co.uk: ‘There’s been a derailment of an engineering train at White City that will take a couple of hours at least to move.
We are really sorry for the disruption and we are trying to resolve the situation as fast as we can. The team are working really hard on it at the moment.’

People are being advised to use other routes – the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines are probably your best friends right now.
Otherwise, you’ll have to consider taking the bus.
The Central Line is suffering delays on the rest of the line.

Didnt this happen not so long ago too in the same location or was it somewhere else?

Dont fancy being a commuter using it this morning.

Still feeling for anyone caught in the disruption though!

Are you thinking of Ealing Broadway a year ago? See https://www.gov.uk/government/news/report-242016-derailment-of-a-passenger-train-at-ealing-broadway.

Or possibly that time a traction motor fell off somewhere like Chancery Lane?

There was a derailment at Hainault depot last year at some point

I expect posters are referring to the April 2015 derailment of an engineering train at Holland Park, shutting down the line between Marble Arch and White City for most of that day.

There's been a few other depot derailments since then.

I think it is probably this derailment at White City in May 2004 the OP is thinking of:
