Looks like the bar has changed to a Piccadilly colour.

These bars seem to have a mind of their own, has the hot & cold bar gone on strike again? One has to wonder when the usual suspects will also take a break!

I'd be interested in seeing the failure investigation report ! NFF. Trip and reset Plug-in MCB. Oh dear! An incorrect report, it should surely read one of the following or similar: 1. Plug-in MCB found tripped, Reset and RWT, cause unknown! 2. Power Supply okay, display blanking mode switch found 'ON', pages ripped from site log, suspect deliberate act, set display blanking mode switch 'OFF' to restore display. Recommend follow up investigation. 3. Display found unplugged, station supervisor borrowed the socket to boil a kettle and forget to plug the display back in. Reconnected display, recommended an order be placed for additional sockets for domestic use. While present removed cash bag from BBMS loudspeaker and suggested ops room staff use earplugs in future! 4. Display shines brightly into nearby GLAP when 'ON', suspect CSA knocked off the MCB to study eyelids between trains. Breaker reset, service restored.

Some of the investigation reports on Metronet were made up like that, I won't say what area or what the fault was.

Haha! Once upon a time failure reports were short and sweet in 'lineman speak' often omitting vital information required by the management number crunchers to keep their KPIs in order and so a directive was issued suggesting that failure reports be more thorough and detailed. This was particularly true of signal failure follow up investigations where a few words here or there often made a big difference to the attribution of service delay to each involved department and the resulting financial penalties apportioned thereto. So directed, my next track failure follow up investigation report filled an A4 page with the best Queen's English omitting all the usual slang terminology and describing the investigation, findings, resolution and conclusion in finite technical detail with no ambiguity. My supervisor was none too pleased and accused me of extracting the urine, "I can't send this in, half the people in the department won't understand it, it sets a precedent in reporting that few of your colleagues could match, rewrite it in words of one syllable that everyone will understand"! Comms section liked short reports as we generally didn't file them on paper, usually giving verbal reports and 'clears' over the phone to the old Comms report centre supervisors at Baker Street who were 'too busy' to to write more than a few succinct words in the fault log! I recall doing T/T maintenance all along the south end of the Northern one night in the early 1990s and found one or two issues including Balham Substation T/T room missing an Eyewash bottle required under H&S. When I called that in to the Comms report centre one of my old Signal New Works Inspectors was manning the phone, "Eyewash" said he "We don't deal in Eyewash here". That pretty much summed up the whole Signals approach to Comms faults when the Comms report centre moved to Griffith House to be supervised by the Signal report centre at that time. Line Service Centres required even less info as too much chat kept some supervisors from studying the inside of their eyelids regardless of shift. I knew many of the LSC supervisors who mostly came from Comms lineman grades and many of whom I had trained as wiremen before they became linemen. I can't speak for BCV and SSL but of course the JNP LSCs were combined into a new single Report Centre complex at Canary Wharf to be overseen by managers in a big brother environment. I believe that was still the case when Tubelines took over JNP in the early noughties although I had little to do with them by then apart from clearing my safety and non-safety check certificates for signal maintenance on the PIcc and Jube. Happy days !

I see the bar is gone to blue, needs a fix ? I reckon that pink & yellow bar show be changed to black & white because I get the feeling it thinks it's a zebra crossing! It has so confused itself that it's feeling blue after too many occurrences of "now ya see me, now ya don't" !
