Swan On The Tracks Halts Trains On London’s Elizabeth Line

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the Guardian.

This is the sub-heading.

Passengers held on trains for up to hour as services suspended between Heathrow and Abbey Wood

These paragraphs outline the story.

Services on a major section of London’s new £19bn Elizabeth line have been suspended because of a swan blocking the tracks.

Transport for London (TfL) said there were no services between Heathrow airport in west London and Abbey Wood in south-east London – via the centre of the capital – due to “an obstruction on the track”. It said there were severe delays on the rest of the line.

I actually got delayed by this, as I was trying to get my shopping home from Moorgate.

The 141 bus, that I took as an alternative was also severely delayed. But not by swans, but by the policies of a Mayor who can’t do sums!
