I have been told when there is a signal fault on the Airport Line, the
fitters travel by train to the fault, the train then waits until the fault
is cleared, and the fitters then travel out on the same train.  Something to
do with insufficient clearances in the tunnel for people to work while
trains are running.

Is this true?
