Anyone wants to share his/her experience with the recent problems on
the Jubilee line? I just had a very bad day this morning again at the
Canning Town station. When I got there this morning, the next train
wasn't there until another 10 minutes. And of course, I could not get
on to a train until another next 2 trains as they were fully packed.
So in total, I waited for almost 18 mins on the platform! This is
really an unacceptable service.

That will due to Metronet, oh hang on a minute, the Jubilee Line is run but
the super efficient Tubelines. I think that you imagined the delay in that
case.

You Londonders just don't realise how good you have it. Most of the
trains where I live only run once an hour, twice if you are really
lucky!

I'm pretty sure I would have joined the heaving masses in the first
train, or maybe just waited for the second, but not beyond that. Did
you go to one end of the platform - the ends of the train are often
less packed. Out of interest which way were you going? I shall guess
it was westwards towards Canary Wharf/ central London...
Obviously something had gone wrong somewhere, perhaps a signal fault
or someone activated an emergency alarm - what information were you
given over the PA?

I certainly take your point Roland, however tens of thousands of
people in London are relying on these trains to take them to or from
work, which isn't the case in Notts - it would be great if it was,...
