I think the first thing TFL to do is tell the Twitter feed people what is going on. The standard response to them being told about an issue is 'we have not been informed of any delays\incidents'. I suspect they are outsourced and not actually based at TFL, as I think the same people do all the feeds. And they rely on someone at TFL to tell them whats happening.
Is there an actual system for deciding what a Good Service is, What a minor delay is, and what a Severe delay is in terms of extra journey times, cancelled trains, extended intervals. Because it seems that an entire branch can suffer delays but if the Central London section is running ok then its classed as a Good Service.

With most people using Oyster, how many people would be using Paper tickets? I would expect whatever route people planned to use they would be using oyster anyway, so Great Eastern would be getting the money. Hopefully LUL dont pay much for them to accept the tickets, I cant imagine more than a couple of hundred people using a paper ticket.
A couple of questions, I hope this isnt a bad place to ask them. I have never used a replacement bus as part of a longer journey. Does an OSI exist between Loughton and say Stratford? Or would people be charged for two separate journeys if they went from say Epping to for instance London bridge, with the bus ride between Loughton and Stratford?
Also are passengers meant to pay if you use the replacement buses? If you use Oyster there is no place to tap, and a paper ticket would be more expensive than using oyster. When I have used a replacement bus (for the dlr) I have never been asked to show a ticket of any kind.

Playing Devils advocate here, but could it be something to do with passengers going to Chingford wouldn't be generating revenue for LU, but those going to Stratford might? I am not saying it would have been an official policy, but perhaps contractors thinking thats would they should be doing.

I have not seen a driver with his feet up, but have often seen central line drivers reading when coming into Mile end station, most drivers appear to be sitting back with there arms crossed as they pull in. I am no expert but would expect even on ATO lines, that they should be ready on the dead mans handle or do they have foot brakes?. (I am a new member, and am honestly curious and not trying to troll).
