I had wondered if there were existing crossover points between fast West and fast East at both Northfields and Acton Town. There's an always-red 'wrong way' signal at the 'wrong' end of every platform, so thought they could do extra duty... Apparently not. The wrong road starter on west of east bound local is for trains to get back into depot after using the test track all other lights on wrong end of platforms would be fixed red lights . There is no points or signals to do what you suggest

Couple of questions- If a train is reversing, as different from stabling, it's going to leave that siding within a fairly short period. Yes? (the risk is a disruptive passenger, not an abandoned one) If a train is to be reversed, are station staff always on-hand to tip out the train? What when they're not available? Like many things, it seems like there are subtleties that aren't brought forward. In the procudere they want to bring in there will be no station staff available at the moment if no staff are there the driver empties train by themselves the diffence is you have a station to retreat to if get rowdy passenger and can get station staff to help which you can't do if in sidings

They will have probably have run deicing trains on lines that don’t have night tube,and there will be trains booked to de-ice in the night tube timetables. They don't need deicing they only run when snow or sleet is forecast . The point heaters sort all the points out and trains run quite happily in very cold weather it's the snow that stops the current being picked up by the train

This is the temperature forecast for tomorrow. Would trains be running normally or what do you think the predicted effects will be on either LU or NR? Shouldn't be any effect as long as the points heaters are working

There is no plans for the pic line to serve any stations in that section except turnham green all day once the new singalling system has been installed whenever that may be. There is a lot of information in the picadilly line section under line upgrades

I’d have thought they’d send a prepper from Cockfosters rather than Northfields as it’s only a couple of stops up the line. Was just refering to way Arnos does it not where the prepper comes from which is Oakwood depot. Although reading it back it does sound like I was saying they come from Northfield's. Also looks like Chris thought you was refering to South Harrow I assume you was on about Arnos

Yes 4 in use now rest expected at the end of year Surely when it goes to 12 stablers they won’t all be cleaned prepped trains leaving Northfields & Cockfosters in the late evening? can't see why not some duties could stable there train in the depot and bring a fresh one out or They could always do what they do at Arnos and send someone from Northfield's to prep the trains and Have cleaners at South Harrow

What do you class as modern as I'm sure the 73 stock has some sort of passenger load function that effectives the brakes automatically

Passenger Night Tube services have been postponed from Saturday 23 July until Friday 29 July. Empty running will now take place on both nights this weekend. Wasn't that always the case as did that with the other lines as well

The South Harrow sidings milestone has been delayed by 110 days, due to late delivery of the signal and electrical designs and extended signal installation durations. [TfL Investment Programme report - quarter to 31 March 2022] Delayed from when as 4 are opening on Sunday and all have seen is rest towards the end of the year

marri260: It's an obvious requirement that the driver needs to see the signals. The new fleet introduces a number of changes. Firstly, it is some 7 m longer than the old train and in some stations the train will have to stop with the cab in the tunnel. This means that the driver might not be able to see the starter signal and the signal might need to be moved. When we had guards on the '73 stock, motormen had to stop with the cab in the tunnel or the guard wouldn't have been able to open the rear cab door to observe the platform. Don't think many signals will need to be moved as most station starters are a few metres into the tunnel. Most if not all the tunnel sections are getting co acting starter signals quite a few Have already been done

45mph from Acton Town, 25mph restriction at signal FRWDX643 (250m east of Ravenscourt); 15mph restriction at signal RWD8A(2); 25mph restriction at signal WD8B into Hammersmith B platform 3. District has 25mph restriction from signal FR587 (300m east of Ravenscourt) into Hammersmith platform 4. 25mph restriction at signal FRWDX643 (250m east of Ravenscourt is now 20mph temporary speed restriction has been for a few years to prevent spads

Well it's not going to be appropriate to ask what that progress is because it would be terrible if that progress was lost because of a confidential action plan being blurted out on a fairly open forum. And it would be confidential of course because it's very specifically about one person I hear. Not really it's in the news articles. Underground chiefs have promised to hold a review into the matter, with union involvement.

I've just come across this: I can't help but wonder why T5 trains skip T2/3, I know T2/3 gets 6tph but seems like an odd decision to deny T2/3 an additional 2tph when these trains have to pass through the station anyway. That map is wrong if you look on proper one from tfl website it's has the t4 and t5 trains stopping at Heathrow 2 and 3

Mess room chatter seems to indicate that after the strike runs out next month, it will quietly be consigned to history as another failed attempt to rally the troops. Doesn't look that way RMT are reballoting over night tube

The luxury of a 15 minute service wished the cheshunt branch of London Overground would provide that instead of a half hourly service
If used weekend timetable there wouldn't be enough trains on other busy parts of the line same as the extra trains they getting back other parts would benifet more

The working of the sidings has stopped the same . Same route in same route out it's just there in a different position and more of them . Anyone that has come to the line since they were closed are being fully trained the rest are being given a briefing and video to watch. Of course if your still not confident after that there is nothing stopping you asking for additional training and /or getting a pilot person if you ever have to go in or out of there

What a fascinating scenario. Did everyone who booked on get paid?
ASLEF were not on strike so all their staff are required BY LAW* to report for work as usual.
The fact that their employer (LU) is not able to give them any work to do once they get there due to the actions of another trade union is irrelevant - the ASLEF members have complied with their contracts of employment so must get paid acordingly.
*Taking secondary action (i.e. not turning in for work because another trade union is on strike with your employer was specifically outlawed in the 1980s by Mrs Thatchers reform of trade Union laws.
If there is a picket line you don't have to cross it and the employer can't do anything. The line your quoiting is. it’s in support of workers taking action against another employer (otherwise known as ‘sympathy’ or ‘secondary’ action) Which is totally diffent to a union taking action at your place of work and your unioin isn't so it's not against the law to strike whatever uioin your in or even if your not in a union.

It is going to North to South there be a bit confusing if said both lines are going west to east It’s still incorrect on their diagram with the pic going the wrong way, they’ve mixed the 2 platforms up. Looks all right to me platform 4 is platform to cockfosters platform 3 to Heathrow and the old aldwych platform is next to the west/southbound platform 3

Whilst this application has been rejected, it seems highly likely amended plans will be swiftly appear with slightly fewer parking spaces being lost which sure enough Shapps can then approve. This appears to be yet another example of a very typical developers tactic. Always prepare two plans. You first post up plans for some outrageous mega development which you know will never be accepted and indeed you never intend to build. In the meantime you already have the real plans drawn up and ready to issue as soon as your initial application is rejected. In a few months time look out for the usual soundbites .. "we have listened carefully to local concerns ... our revised plan is far smaller ... safeguards more car parking spaces... better for the environment... ". (oh and our pockets) Guess what, people forget that all those displaced commuters - do not dissapear they will quickly clog up local roads with parked cars instead, until that triggers yet another outbreak of yellow lines and controlled parking zones. Removing a heavily used car park does not solve parking issues it displaces it. Perversely over in Europe pretty much the exact opposite is happening - with park and ride facilities being discretely created and expanded at many outlying railway stations and feeder bus routes around Geneva which has resulted in a huge leap in ridership, less congested roads, and indeed less pollution in the city. This is already the second application with more parking places
