Hi there - First off, let me clarify that I don't mean this as an attack on anyone. I am genuinely curious.
What constitutes Good Service/Minor Delays/Severe Delays?
An example would be this morning on the Jubilee. I get into Waterloo at about 820 from Wimbledon on SWT and get to a crowded Jubilee Line eastbound platform at about 825ish. There hadn't been a train in 3 minutes and we had to wait another 4 minutes for one to show up (7 min gap in service) then the next one was 5 minutes away then the next was 1 minute and the one I finally got on was 4 minutes after that. Now, when the service is running normally, we seem to get trains every 2-3 minutes max. We then proceeded to hold at every station between Waterloo and Canary Wharf for quite some time. I didn't arrive at Canary Wharf until 9:12 which is a massive delay (partly owing to the fact that I couldn't get on any trains until the 4th one)
This scenario is described by TFL as a "Good Service" - Shouldn't this surely have been "Minor Delays"??
