Maybe it's just me, but I like to know where the trian that I've just missed was going... eg. if waiting on an Eastbound H&C line train, I want to know if what just pulled out was one of them, or a Circle or Met line train instead.

Periodically, in the morning (usually if there are delays in the City) Met lines from the Uxbridge branch terminate at Harrow OTH, instead of carrying on in to the city.

I think the last instance of this happened last Thursday when the train went down the fast line after leaving everyone at the station.
I've always been intrigued as to why people get dumped out there, as opposed to being able to continue down the track to terminate at Wembley instead? (OK - selfish - I was going to Wembley that morning)

It seems TubeLines need another 28 weekend shut downs on the Jublee Line next year Is that 28 full weekend closures, or 28 days of closure? If it's full weekend closures, that means for half the year the Jubilee Line won't be running at the weekend!
