A special timetable ran on the Metropolitan line for weeks after a problem was identified in April.
A formal investigation has been launched by Transport for London after an issue with wheels on Tube trains forced the entire Metropolitan line fleet to be checked over.Due to the safety concerns a special timetable was put in place until the problems were fixed, with some services having to be run every 30 minutes.
He said: "Routine checks to the Metropolitan line fleet identified an issue with some wheelsets on the trains. "The wheels identified were not too small to run on the tracks, but presented issues which meant the affected trains had to be removed from service whilst remedial works were carried out.Trains had to be operated between Baker Street and Amersham or Chesham every 30 minutes, between Watford and Baker Street every 15 minutes, and between Uxbridge and Aldgate every 15 minutes.
