The service was running with severe delays for most of the day, with some afternoon trains being nearly an hour late.
I am aware that there was a signal failure in the Acton Town area early on, but how did this manage to decimate the service to such an extent? There was another signal failure around midday at South Ken which caused two westbound trains to be reversed at Embankment and a fair bit of queuing, but the service was already stuffed before that made things even worse.
FWIW, there were D stocks seen as below, although there were numerous reformations:
T3 (reformed from S7) T4 (reformed to S7) T5 (reformed to S7) T16 (reformed from S7) T32 T33 T61 (reformed from S7) T63 T65 T101 PM T102 PM T105 PM

Today was pretty bad. On the Picc we had an emergency timetable introduced. My morning peak Uxbridge train was reversed at Down Street and I sat in there for about 30 minutes before heading back east. Before that, traction current was discharged a couple of times around the Heathrow area. On the second half of my duty, I went to T4 and got delayed there and pretty much all the way back to Cockfosters. Not the best of situations! We had trains stalled between stations, some for over an hour with customers and heard at least one doing a wrong directional move somewhere around Alperton.
Hopefully it will all be fixed in the morning :-)

It was a faulty card in one of the IMR's at Acton Town. They thought it was fixed and then it went faulty again so it was a loss of signalling control at Earls Court.

It was not a faulty card it was a defective cable between Acton Town East IMR and Earls Court and more specifically it was inside a connection box around Ravenscourt Park
