Today was pretty rough for the Victoria Line. I arrived at Seven Sisters on the Overground at 1307 to hear a (quiet) announcement saying that there were no victoria line services from Seven Sisters, to reboard the train standing in the platform and seek alternative routes from Liverpool Street. I was lucky enough to hear this and dive back on to the train as the doors were closing, to turn around and see the crowd on the platform realise this, but it was too late and the train departed. The service status at this time was showing Part Suspended (Warren Street to Victoria) with severe delays on the rest of the line. The announcement suggested it was suspended throughout. The status also said to avoid travel due to the emergency engineering work at Oxford Circus.
I managed to travel at about half 8 albeit with around a 5 minute wait but it seemed pretty knackered most of the day. Any further information? Was the entire line actually suspended or was Seven Sisters just struggling under a weight of people? If not how were services being organised, I've never been on a Victoria Line service terminating at Warren Street but I assume the capacity for turning around here is extremely limited with no sidings around?
