In this era of cost cutting etc why has LUL seemed it necessary to change our uniforms I have seen the three concepts and I think that they are all a waste of money plus they all look disgusting.

Just had a great journey on 5545 about half an hour ago from Kings Cross - Baker Street, driver got to line speed, used full service braking and threw it off at the last second for a smooth stop. It couldn't have been rheo brake because the traction motors were silent during braking and was not westinghouse because there was no air noises, so was just EP. Can the driver isolate the rheo these days? or could it have been a non working rheo brake with EP compensating? either way its impressive how smooth and quickly the C stock can stop with a good driver and brakes. Wonder if C stock can do what 72ts do where you can throw the reverser to neutral or reverse (I cant remember which) which cuts out the rheostatic brake. I'm gonna try that next time I have C stock

One problem that customers are having NOW is that when they wish to return Oyster cards for the deposit etc there is nowhere open and NO facilities on the station to do so.

In all the times I've been to Earls Court I've never knew they were there! I'm not the most observant person as you can probably guess. I'll have a look out for them next time The only problem now is that where the additional camera have been installed on the platform it is nigh on impossible to see the "first train" indicator from the cab
