As a District T/Op what I can gather is that certain members of management are not carrying out certain procedures in line with LUL policy so it seems. If a manager cannot comply with company procedures then they are at fault this was also the reason for industrial action on the Piccadilly line in the past. If I fail to carry out my duties in accordance with company rules/procedures I would be in the brown stuff so how can management get away with this.This is the problem of "Line management" where there are different ways of interpreting company policy.

One has been moved "all the way in" instead of the "6 car mark" at Ealing Common today so is a possible candidate for withdrawal this week apologies but was unable to get the leading unit no.

No still confused. What is "Jet's train"? Well 'jet' as in, jetblast787, the person who made the suggestion. So I think the idea is that District line train 001 is waiting in the platform for an extra 30 seconds/1 minute, as per jetblast's suggestion. Because District line train 001 is still in the platform, District line train 002 may have to wait outside of Ealing Broadway for train 001 to leave. Because District line train 002 is now being held up, it may take longer to clear Hanger Lane junction, which would delay Piccadilly line train 003 which is following it. Because Piccadilly line train 003 has now been delayed, District line train 001 may have to wait for Piccadilly line train 003 to clear the junction, because it was held up by train 002, which was held up by train 001, which is holding up train 003, which is holding up train 001, all of this for the express purpose of not holding up train 001. Or to put it another way, 001 leaves Ealing Broadway, 002 enters Ealing Broadway allowing 003 to proceed over Hanger Lane junction, allowing 001 to proceed over Hanger Lane junction. If 001 doesn't leave Ealing Broadway, 002 doesn't enter Ealing Broadway and doesn't allow 003 to proceed over Hanger Lane junction until 001 has left Ealing Browadway. Then 002 can move, then 003 can move, then 001 can move. --- This though is all pretty academic. I agree with crusty that there's a lot to timetabling, it's a tricky business and there are lots of things you want to have. You have to take into account the fact that there's a lot of knock-on effects, a lot of things earlier and later on down the line that have an effect, and it's a very fine balancing act. Making a change at point A can have weird knock-on effects at point C.3.b. A change at Hanger Lane junction could affect Rayners Lane Junction, which could affect the Met at Harrow-on-the-Hill, which could affect Baker Street Junction, which could affect the Circle and H & C, which could affect the District at Edgware Road, which could affect the junction with the mainline at East Putney, which could ... Actually, to be honest, that's quite a bit too extreme, I'm making a point, it's probably not gonna be quite as profound as all that. But it can be a rather complicated network. And, as well as that, like I say, there are many things you want. Good connections, smooth running at as many junctions as possible, a regular departure frequency (e.g. every 10 minutes exactly). You can't always have everything you want all the time, but there is a lot that goes into these timetables. However, I don't think that a train waiting at the home signal at Ealing Broadway (WP17) for a platform to become available would foul Hanger Lane junction, or for that matter delay the Piccadilly line in passing over the junction. Nor, for that matter, do I believe Ealing Broadway generally has all of its platforms full (although there again you might not want to cross train 1 in front of train 2, lest train 1 prevent train 2 from departing when you would ideally want it to). at around 2000-2100 all three district platforms tend to be in use at Ealing Bdy and again from 0015 till 0100 (M-F) as this is when there is the highest amount of Ealing Common stablers Don't do earlies so no idea about morning platform occupancy is like

Upminster and Barking drivers are not signed off for HSK - Edgware Road, and no District drivers signed for Glouxester Road to HSK. Will be interesting to see how this is overcome. May be using Circle T/ops to work trains Gloucester road - Edgware Road and District drivers picking up from Gloucester Road Circle/H&C know the route through the city as far as Barking so reliefs could be done at Barking as well.

Don't forget from 2200 on 30/12/16 no service Embankment westbound and as other closures. I am wondering if we will be doing Ealing - Acton or Ealing Bdy -Ealing common so we don't screw over the Picc line

Will be about 4 weeks or so before next D stocks go this is due to stabling roads at Ealing Common being prepared for S7 trains

Sorry if I have asked before, but has car 7123 ever been involved in a collision, derailment or anything of that sort? Yes it received a dent on its front end a couple of years ago after hitting a fallen tree I think I may have a picture of it somewhere
