The Suffragette line, the Overground route through Crouch Hill, has no service between South Tottenham and Barking Riverside until the end of service on Tuesday 10 November. TfL gives an operational incident as the reason. The notice has been valid since 27 October.
TfL lists minor delays on the rest of the line, and says Underground and London Buses are accepting tickets by any reasonable route. Anyone heading east from Crouch Hill should plan for buses or the Tube for another eleven days.
A closure of nearly two weeks is a long time to leave a commuter line with only "an operational incident" by way of explanation. Crouch Hill passengers should be told what happened and whether 10 November is firm.
