Looks like no one in the entire system has ever considered that they might massively screw up.  No contingency plans, just starting to think things through. Perhaps this is a testament to the prior efficiency of the system, but I am very surprised at this revelation.

Does anyone know if they have event recorders on the trains?  

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Exactly, it has never failed like this in its many years of operation, note that nobody is saying anything about the huge delays at heathrow or on the highways, those are as expected.
