Hello!

Yesterday morning there was no Wimbledon-Edgware Road service due to flooding at Earl's Court. This didn't effect any other route (to my knowledge) and passengers were advised to change at Gloucester Road for the Circle.

Just intrigued for any further info as to the cause, resolution etc. I can only presume it was the fly-under that was affected?

Thanks!

This has been going on now for 2 weeks

Is it a burst pipe then, and are they actually running trains through it partially flooded if you saying its been going two weeks!?

Services were suspended on Saturday 4 July 2225-0120, then from start of traffic until 1700 on Sunday 5 July for the same reason.
Yesterday, no services ran until 0810.
Water was certainly visible in the dip since the weekend of 4-5/7.

Hadn't realised there had been an issue that weekend

The pumps keep the water down to a safe level but as everything else things fail and this causes the water to raise. On the sunday when it was suspended the water was at the same level as the negative current rail.
