Bring it one... might get a clear run into the local platform at Acton for a day or two  EDIT: Since its just Acton drivers, a Arnos driver will probs park his train in the platform and go for a 10 min P&R with nobody to move the train.. maybe not so good! |

What's a P&R? should it not be PNR, when I was on the trains on the Northern the SM at Camden would get the spare to give you a slip of paper which said report back in 15mins they must have been clever to know how long it takes to brown stuff. I only did 16 years on the trains working all tube lines except the Central also did a spell on OPO C stock from Baker St stabling at Neasden on nights. |

I believe it is PNR, standing for personal needs relief. And 15 minutes is the standard allowed time. This is for any "personal need" which I believe is not limited to defecation!

I was told PNR was 'Physical Needs Relief'. I must check out UndergrounD's Underground slang article.
Would 15 minutes be sufficient to defect to the District?

I was told PNR was 'Physical Needs Relief'. You may well be right there. Either way it's PNR, not P&R! |

I have to say in defence adw that I have frequently heard PNR described as a P & R! Perhaps it stood for 'Pee and Roll-up'? Oh no it's not...'Paper and Roll-ups'!
Of course 'physical needs' could include lavatorial needs as well as nausea, headache, etc. especially after driving Londoners and tourists around for hours!

I can confirm it is "Physical Needs Relief". It used to be referred to as "Lavatory Relief" in 1920s documents.
