Over the last week or so I have noticed trains having issues when departing on the eastbound towards Fairlop. The train starts to move, has a little difficulty then proceeds on with no issue. Today - 21/05/20 the train slowly and gradually accelerated out of Barkingside before slowly gaining speed towards Fairlop. Does anyone know what the issue is?

I have had no issues there, and I am a driver on the Central Line.
It could be people leaning on the doors causing the motors to drop out momentarily, or the motors just tripping out on overload.
A quick press of a button will solve that problem.
Taking in to account the recent drop in passenger numbers, I doubt it is my first suggestion.

Sadly I have to disagree. I've noticed some sort of traction problem departing Barkingside on the Inner Rail, its been there for years although not all trains are affected. There's a similar problem departing Platform 2 at Hainault on the Inner.
18:20
Went through Barkingside inner twice on the first half, there was a definite lurch right after moving off. |

It can’t be anybody leaning on doors as there has only been a few people getting off the train with me. I know about people leaning on the doors causing trouble but this is happening when the train is probably at 5% load? |

It didn’t happen on Friday afternoon on the return trip but from Monday through Thursday in the afternoons it has happened every time. Exactly as you describe it, only the day I posted this the train took longer than usual to get moving, it just coasted at a very low speed then gradually increased speed towards Fairlop. |

Something set by Wood Lane with the heat perhaps?
