Trains into Victoria + Victoria line chat

This forced hike due to managing passener flows (not being critical) , is evident at Kings Cross - and I dare say - other stations as well......(the old routes can be found without too much trouble)

Learning the Kings Cross shortcut saved me from missing a train once!

An explanation re the noise on the Victoria line from this morning...

A speed restriction that was introduced due to flooding at Green Park has been found to be the indirect cause of the noise.
The speed restriction there meant the trains ran faster over the rest of the line to keep up service frequencies.
But the faster speeds increased rail "pitting" where the tracks are eroded. That leads to high noise levels when the train wheels run over the affected sections of track.

London Underground: Why is the Victoria line so loud?

Tube engineers say they have identified why noise levels have increased on the Victoria line.
