I had a slightly unusual experience this evening, at North Greenwich.
The service was suspended between North Greenwich and Stratford due to a signal failure at West Ham, so I got a westbound train towards central London from platform 2.
Firstly, the indicator board on platform 2 was displaying "Watford 15 min" as the 3rd departure.
Secondly, when my train departed, we were held outside Canary Wharf for a while (it felt like about 15-20 minutes). The (very informative) driver explained that the train ahead had developed a problem, so had to be reversed back into the platform at Canary Wharf and later said that it had become non-communicating. He referred to the signal failure at West Ham causing 'all sorts of problems'.
I wondered if the signalling system had been rebooted, and in the process the train ahead didn't come back online?
