Last Saturday, I changed from Vic to Bakerloo at Oxford Circus. There was a train loaded with passengers half in the Northbound tunnel and half in the platform. It stayed there for about five minutes. I have never seen this before is it unusual? What would give rise to this?

Most likely reason is a passenger alarm - if it's activated before reaching the last car marker, it must be dealt with there and then.
Less likely reasons (given the distance travelled):
Over run
Spad (starter)
Even less likely reasons:
Loss of pilot light
Loss of traction current (though that would be more obvious)
Next signal at danger

If it was leaving the platform, next signal at danger is fairly likely. The next signal isn't that far out of the platform.

Could be a train defect such as a blown fuse.

If it was leaving the platform, next signal at danger is fairly likely. The next signal isn't that far out of the platform. IIRC, the next signal is a four digit one. ie. it effectively just mimics the starter. It's highly unlikely this was at danger. Drivers often experience a loss of pilot light leaving Oxo nb - think lots of people - so is most likely to either be this, or a pass alarm. There are no signals (that I can recall) that will stop you in station limits. Could be a train defect such as a blown fuse. Blown fuses are rare tbh. Train Op's that can diagnose and fix a train in 5 minutes are even rarer.....  |
