 Oh, fantastic. The never-ending story of the Central Line. Better than a comedy on BBC. I'll post the whole article. This is unbelievable. Central line fiasco [This is London: London News]"The Central line fiasco continued today as the route was shut down just 30 minutes after a full service had resumed. Various sections were closed because of fire alerts and defective trains.
Trains were scheduled to start running at 5.30am this morning, but by 6am the line had been brought to a complete standstill causing chaos once again for London's commuters.
All eight stations between Marble Arch and Liverpool Street were closed off because of a fire alert in the Tottenham Court Road area.
A second fire alert then took place between 6.12am and 7.37am affecting the same stations and causing the complete closure of Oxford Circus Tube.
At 7am the Central line service from Marble Arch to Holborn was closed in both directions because of a continuing fire alert, affecting five of the eight stations.
By 11am the Marble Arch to Liverpool Street route was suspended eastbound because of a defective train at Holborn.
The Central line has been closed for safety reasons since the derailment at Chancery Lane on 25 January which injured 32 passengers."
