I remember the ends of 38 stock (apart from the cab ends) had a rubber button about 3" diameter on each side roughly at cantrail level. I wondered for years what they were for. Then a train was terminated at Finchley Central. Before it pulled into the reversing siding, the guard went through each car to check that the passengers had tipped themselves out, then pressed that button. It closed the doors on that car only, so that a passenger for MHE could not come hurtling down the stairs and onto the train. For some time, I tried to think of a way of pressing one of those buttons on a train in service, without being noticed, but it was too difficult. When the guard finished doing this, did he join the motorman in the front cab; or did he return to the rear car? I remember seeing this done with the 59s many times @ Rayners Lane.

The only advantage I see is that westbound passengers can determine if an Uxbridge or Ruislip bound train is Met or Piccy by looking at the online departure boards for trains that have not yet served Rayners Lane.

When first opened the service pattern for the Jubilee was Stanmore,Wembley,Willesden,West Hampstead. Wasn't that only during the morning peaks?

On TFL's departure boards around 1130 local time (530 am here in Mississippi), I noticed boards advertising Ruislip and South Harrow destinations. Were there any delays earlier? It is odd for the Piccy when Rayners and Uxbridge are not the only westbound destinations off-peak on that branch.

This is an odd purpose for trains. Is the Circle/H&C the only line to designate such trains?

Aldwych was a Central Line station staffing-wise. And the Piccadilly served Aldwych. Why this anomaly in line staffing?
