On Friday evening I got stuck on an eastbound Central Line train between Mile End and Stratford for around an hour. The driver kept us well informed, although it wasn't a very nice experience.
I was wondering how long you are 'allowed' to be stuck in a tunnel between stations? I knew there were 'severe delays' on the line so it wasn't a complete surprise to get stopped - but I wasn't expecting to be stuck in a tunnel for so long.
My normal experience is that trains get held in platforms further up the line, so I was surprised that there was another train stuck in the tunnel behind my one which also de-trained at Stratford. I'd never seen so many trains sticking out of tunnels (at both ends of the eastbound track at Stratford) and in the platform!
