On a similar, yet almost entirely different thing. On Sunday nights an S8 parks up in the Ricky double length siding (opposite Waitrose) with DISTICT LINE / EALING BROADWAY on the indicators.
It's always the train at the front of the path, so it'll be the first one out.
It's an S8, not an S7+1, so surely it wouldn't head up to become a District from Ricky, early Monday morning?

The two stocks share software and PIS codes; it'll be a driver having a bit of fun, in the same way that trains on the Central line often show Ongar or Waterloo when stabling. |

Just FYI, it's called 23 road  |

A simple mistype of the destination code could easily make a District Line train from Edgware Road to Wimbledon into a Metropolitan Line train from Aldgate to Chalfont & Latimer - Fast.

It's an old description from when the H&C was described as Metropolitan Line (all the same colour).

That's the reason an I/O gave me a few days back when I caught an all stations "Circle line" service to Uxbridge, whilst the front and side external displays were displaying the anomalous line there were no on train announcements or scrolling dot matrix messages which made a nice change for once. |

A S8 has recently been taken to Ealing Common Depot via Earls Court after the last empty stock move Neasden-Baker (reverse)-Edgware Road-High Street-Earl's Court-Acton Town-Rayners Lane (reverse)-Ealing Common (reverse)-(repeat)-Rayners Lane (reverse)-Harrow-Neasden. Trying to resolve the signal interference issues on the Piccadilly, as I understand it. |
