HL Deb 15 February 2001 vol 622 c57WA
Lord Lamont of Lerwick

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On how many occasions underground trains have been stuck between stations for times exceeding half an hour and one hour respectively during the last year; and whether there is any safety implication. [HL682]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

I understand from London Underground that, whilst they gather information relating to delays to trains caused by various operational aspects, and delays caused by passenger action, passengers taken ill on trains and incidents at stations, information on the location of the train suffering the delay is not collected centrally.
