OK, so it won't kill me but I'm interested nonetheless. And I'm not a Cat. But that's not important right now...
I'm quite a sporadic poster. I don't have a great deal of knowledge to share around. I tend to ask more random, basic questions. Plus, I'm going to mention your all-time favorite Newspaper. It's like I'm digging myself an internet-esque grave here, isn't it?
So, the Drain. I've used it a couple of times since it's reopened. Not out of convenience, more out of curiosity. It certainly looks shiny and new. The ride quality is distinctly better than it was before the closure.
But it has suffered since the reopening, hasn't it? Yesterday it was suspended (word of mouth) in the morning peak for a bit, and then (personal experience) in the evening too. Hardly reliable thus far, it's fair to say.
Now, the Evening Standard claims this evening that the signalling was untouched during this lengthy possession. Is this true? Naturellement, they make an unnecessarily big deal of this, but as one not so educated in the intricacies of these things, I would've thought this would be a sensible thing to do over those months when the line was closed? Or at least, work on it so that the inevitable signal failures of days gone by are not such a frequent occurrence?
That is all. I have no technical basis for this post, simply word of mouth, that dirty rag that I buy occasionally for some reason, but first and foremost, my personal experience of it thus far. But I would be intrigued to learn more about it nonetheless.
Shed any light, anyone?
