Oh yes, then they could also install the Target Speed Chime Box to keep me happy!

So, 24 hours later the only even half-detailed public report is from the London Paper www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/news/article/1157148967590?packedargs=aid%3D1157148967590%26suffix%3DArticleController

I find it (not) very reassurring that there is no statement on the TfL website, metronet website, RAIB website or RMT website. The BBC and most major news outlets do not have a detailed story on what happened and our only source of info is the ever reliable London Paper.

Way to go (again) TfL!

I rather suspect it is because it was little more than a one off defect resulting from an error in the depot and in consequence not particularly newsworthy.

Defects happen to odd trains daily, on some occassions they do stall the train and cause a lengthy shutdown.

In this case, probably as it was a 1992 stock, it caused a longer suspension and the cause of the stall did require further investigation, once it was established there was no inherrant defect with the stock then it was buisness as usual.

I suppose TfL could have issued a statement from the perspective of the delay and inconvenience caused to the travelling public, but this need not have contained more detail on the specifics of the train stall, it is pretty uncommon for any statement to include such information where there is no collision / derailment or passnger injuries.

What an unfortunate day that turned out to be!

that link notes that the 'EPBU cover' was found on the track. Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me what the EPBU is please.
