Will they run 34tph on the whole line now or will they start running all northbound trains to Walthamstow when the 36tph timetable is introduced?

www.tubestatus.net/?full Tube Status is very useful for finding out information on delays as it provides a delay timeline for each line as well as departure boards

The idea of having a damaged wall is unusual I meant and has the circle ever run a truly good service ?

Circle Line: No service anti-clockwise only while we fix a damaged wall at Aldgate. GOOD SERVICE in the clockwise direction. I've heard it all now

if the Central had a larger fleet of trains would 36tph not be possible? How many trains is the Central Line to receive under the new Tube for London project 100?

Would the capacity increases on the central line not be achieved by running 36 tph for 3 hours in each peak period rather than just for half an hour in the morning peak?

It's happened again at 9:50 pm there are minor delays due to operating restrictions in the clockwise direction. Driver shortage again?

The TFL website shows possible disruption due to planned Network rail strike action. It includes the usual about the Bakerloo etc but if the strike goes ahead the Waterloo and City will be suspended.
Does the line still rely on Network Rail infrastructure or are they just sacrificing the service to ensure reliability on the Central line as they share drivers?

How fast do the trains currently go? Did trains ever run at 100kph and when and why was this reduced? Will the increase in speed allow an increase of service frequency without requiring additional trains in service? Will any more than the current 79/85 trains be put into service? Thanks

The service across the whole line was a complete joke! there were trains "approaching" stations for hours and departure boards remaining the same for hours and yet they still say "Severe Delays". Anyone know the reason for why the faulty train took so long to fix.

After a faulty train at Neasden at around 2pm why has the service come so rapidly to a stand? Officially there are "severe delays" on the rest of the line even through trains aren't running. My question is why couldn't they keep some form of a service running between Stratford and Willesden Green/West Hampstead and why when there are such serious issues how do they get away with saying severe delays rather than Suspended.

The next use of PEDs will most likely be after the introduction of the New Tube for London on the Piccadilly line as from the feasibility study the conclusion reached is that "It is expected that ultimately Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) will be implemented on the majority of platforms served by the New Tube for London. This will provide a safer and more modern space for customers who are waiting for their trains, much like that provided on the underground stations on the Jubilee line extension".

Surely platform edge doors are the most suitable solution to prevent incidents like this. I'm surprised with the modernisation of the underground that they have not already been installed particularly on lines such as the Northern that aren't due for train replacement. This would be particularly useful at Clapham Common and Clapham North that only have narrow island platforms.

What's going on here, I wasn't aware that Gunnersbury was a particularly busy station as its used by around 4.5million people a year - found this on the TFL website "Gunnersbury Station: This station is particularly busy between 08:30 - 09:00 due to increased customer numbers. We may use a managed queuing system at busy times to help prevent overcrowding. If you are able to travel outside of the busiest time, you could have a more comfortable journey."
Has there suddenly been a large increase in passenger numbers, and does the situation really warrant a "managed queuing system"?

What would be the benefit of getting them on to the Jubilee Line. How would they get to Acton from there?

I don't travel on that part of the line, but generally noise is due to wheel to rail interfacing when it comes to curves. The flanges on the wheels rub but whether this is the noise you hear, I have no idea. Thing is the section between Liverpool street and Stratford isn't too curvy compared to the rest of the line Well that's what led me to ask the question because as you pointed out that particular section is relatively straight so for that much noise to be produced I thought was quite strange.

Why is the central line noise so extreme, particularly between Stratford and Mile End. The noise is usually very high pitched , far louder than any other line and really hurts your ears. Does anyone know what causes the noise and do drivers hear this noise too?

I noticed around 1-2 pm the central line had a power failure in the Acton / Ealing and around the same time there were delays on the Bakerloo and District lines due to power failures. Were these failures related, what was the cause and why did the central line have such long delays.

Central Line: No service between Liverpool Street and Epping and Woodford via Hainault only, due to a signal failure at Mile End. Estimated time of resumption is 10.00 hrs. SEVERE DELAYS on the rest of the line. Customers should avoid the Central line wherever possible. Tickets will be accepted on London Overground, London Buses, DLR and Abellio Greater Anglia services via any reasonable route.
This looks to be really serious and has gone on for about 3 hours any one know the cause ??

So if 36tph is to be introduced with WTT39 in April 2016 what will be different in WTT37?
what track work is required at Wathamstow, will anything major have to be done to turn around 36tph there more so than Brixton. Thanks

what was the purpose of forming 4! S7-1 trains "for testing". I thought trains could only be formed S8, S8-1, S7 & S7+1.

Hope it doesn't go the same way the JLE did when they tried to integrate different systems. I always thought it was daft using 2 or 3 different systems on a single line moving from ATO to normal signalling!
