Are there any particular rivalries between any of the lines?

Pretty much every line vs. every other line!  Certainly District vs. Piccadilly. |

And of course there is the friendly camaraderie between District and Circle/H&C men too. They do play follow-my-leader on a daily basis and I think they enjoy it as well.!?

Hmmm. District v Picc, District v H&C, District v Circle... Notice the common denominator here?! ;D
I'll throw Met v Jubilee into the arena as well just so it doesn't sound like the District are the main grumpy gits!
Met v Jubilee is very similar to the District v Picc... Shared canteen facilities where we sit on the opposite sides and never speak! ;D

Of course there are real rivalries now with two different companies mis-running the tube system. I expect the next thing will be a return to the 1840's when one firm more or less declared war on another.

We (as H&C employees - officially) have to deal with all 3 of you, at once, and from all directions! But when it comes to dealing with the Jubilee, most of us don our old Met Line caps (it's a bigger railway you see, and some of them frighten easy ;D ) |

Times were, when even rostered Motormen and Conductors sat at separate tables in the canteens... Even today, a few Leytonstone men lunching at White City sit separate from those crews. It works both ways y'know...

It works both ways y'know... Same at Earls Court - Barking & Upminster drivers on one table, Earls Court & Acton Town drivers on another. It's rare that East end drivers will entertain a meaningful conversation with West end drivers. Daft really - but that's the way it is  BTW - I had some good news today - I have moved up to 20th on the waiting list for Upminster depot - so at the current rate, i'll transfer in about 7 years ;D ;D |

I have seen the transfer list for Golders. Am I missing something, or have the recent problems caused so many to decide to up sticks and apply for t/f?
