I had cause to go through Blackfriars on Friday from Gatwick to Cricklewood, with a very very slow Thameslink queue waiting . When we got to the tunnels it was very splashy splashy

Then this morning at Cricklewood it was all close as Thames Water can't find the leak, with all trains going to St P

is it all fixed or is it crazy disruption ?

News report with Video clip of a 319 swimming here

This news report is slightly misleading though! Suggests that Thameslink services from Wimbledon to Waterloo were cancelled!

According to a report on WNXX Forum, they know where the leak is but they are/were struggling to isolate it without cutting the supply to a hospital. Thameslink operating 4tph to Bedford out of St Pancras High Level.

I must have been on that 319 as it was very much bring your paddle !

what is the best way to sim this on WH and VSE ? . Driver did in fairness keep us very up to date on Friday and we were in a huge queue back from Herne Hill I suppose

Best way to simulate is knock out the lights at Farringdon and have everybody talked past ( driver did say the signals were out because of the obvious TCF issue ) .

I didn’t know there were any!
