Today I went to the eastern end of the Central Line. It didn’t go as expected!!
There we’re a considerable amount of delays. 20 minutes for a train at Epping, where a train operator announced ‘We’ve had a few delays, traction current being discharged.’ the TfL website said it was operating a good service!
I managed to catch some rare findings as well, trains going to Debden and trains going to West Ruislip via the Eastbound platform at Loughton.
What was causing these delays today?

No reported problems, a "quiet morning" according to the manager on the desk at Leytonstone when I booked on just now. Could be trains cancelled due to not enough stock or drivers available
Which eastbound platform? You can go west from Plat 4 Loughton, Plat 3 Woodford and Plat 3 Leytonstone.

What was causing these delays today? nothing significant; 8min delay White City retrieval of object from track requiring traction current discharge, 9 trains cancelled (2 defective in service, 2 not available from depot) |

Very strange as there was a large gap for a train at epping. There were also workers on the tracks and they did fiddle with the signals! |

Just had a look at Trackernet "Replayer"
Train 111 was due to terminate Loughton Platform 2/3 10:28, depart 10:36 but didn't arrive until 10:37
Train 013 was due to terminate Loughton Platform 2/3 10:38 but terminated on Platform 4 10:40 because Train 111 was still on Platform 2/3.
Train 013 and Train 111 were both held while Train 012 from Epping went west 10:43 from Platform 1 and Train 064 was brought out of Loughton sidings onto Platform 1 (don't know why it was in Loughton sidings, should have been at Gants Hill Outer)
Next Epping Train 016 was being held outside Loughton, should have departed 10:41. Train 013 departed Platform 4 10:47, Train 016 arrived Platform 4 10:48, departed 10:49
Previous Epping trains were Train 014, departed 10:30 and Train 015, departed 10:33

I was on the train before that one came in. I got off the train because the indicators said ‘-> Next London train ->’ (platform 2/3) only to find out 2 trains went before we did! |
