Disruption on top of weekend engineering closures

My collegue told me there had just been a points problem at Wembley Park when I got in at 15:00, unfortunatly I have tried to look for information but nothing seems to have been published at work

I do believe MetControl was the Controller on duty at the time ;D ;D

Indeed I was.

Failure of the points south of Wembley Park which handle converging moves from the southbound local and fast lines.

The route from the fast towards Neasden was fine (and thus the majority of trains were able to be diverted via the fast from Harrow).

The route from the local line was failing, and 2 trains were delayed - one in the platform at Wembley, and one just outside. The train in the platform was quickly detrained, with the train outside brought forward and also detrained.

The speed in which the southbound trains were dealt with and the frequency of the northbound service meant nobody should have been inconvenienced for more than around 10 minutes. A few connections between northbound and southbound services at Harrow were laid on - so landau1945, you made the Baker Street train not by luck, but because we waited for you

Plenty of information left our office for the outside world (i.e. stations, trains etc.)

The northbound service was unaffected by the failure, which lasted just 20 or so minutes.

Just goes to show how different people are affected in different ways. Metman's "lucky" semi-fast service was only as a result of the failure.

The only trains ex-depot were the 2 delayed trains after the failure coming out to pick-up their northbound workings, and 2 football spare trains.
