In our previous reply, the following table of delays was provided in response to your question and comments here:
Again, you have delays due to engineering works over running. Only told by the staff. There has been no announcement on platform or in all of Victoria line station at all and I had been on the platform for 10 minutes. This is unacceptable, please not every time I have to complain
I will ask for a freedom of information request on the last 6 months of delays, reason why? and steps you have taken to rectify this.
