I'd heard that the Bakerloo line had been suspended due to "an obstruction" near Embankment.

I think you took it a bit too seriously.

hopefully it's just a few bits of debris and not a complete cave in.

Hopefully, then we can makes jokes about a man being stuck up the Bakerloo Line.

I can recomend some high fiber foods to help clear those obstructions.

But a funny one.

Bakerloo line:

Suspended between Piccadilly Circus and Elephant and Castle due to an obstruction in tunnel at Embankment. Severe delays on the rest of the line

and radio reporting a blockage on the line.

Maintenaince workers on Tube Lines contracts are currently on a 72-hour strike. However, TfL says its response to problems so far has been unaffected by the strike.

bad press day for them and a lot of public hate coming up

There is no tunnel collapse on the Bakerloo line. Our engineers are on site and we are assessing the situation. #bakerloo #tfl

I am sure Bob Crow will be appearing on TV today.

Meh, non-issue.

Could have happened during TH, or during EH, possibly when cleaning or using machinery in the area.

I'll investigate through my network
