It differs from line to line. Some are nice and simple, some really aren’t. Off peak there is a pattern, but during the peak it gets disrupted. The former are listed in the WTTs under Train Numbering or similar, but for peak stuff you’d need to go through trains individually. One exception to the above is the CnH which uses the same numbering all day long, bar one train which moves from Circles to H&Cs after the peak. Remembering that LU numbering doesn’t use 8s or 9s, some example, continuous sequences from my parts of the world: *200-217 - Circles (213 becomes a H&C after the peak) *261-277 - H&C *171 - Upminster/Hammersmith changeover train (peaks only) *172 - Ealing/Hammersmith changeover train (peaks only) *175 - Edgware Road changeover train (one Circle at CoT) *401-413 - Amersham/Chesham-Aldgate *421-427 - Watford-Baker *430-451 - Uxbridge-Aldgate *460-474 - Neasden inter peak stablers Aside from the changeover/inter peak stabling trains, the above numbers could start/finish at any depot or sidings. I understand what an inter-peak stabler is, but I'm not sure about a changeover train. Could some kind person please clarify? At various locations on the network, trains are stabled away from full stabling facilities like a depot or sidings. LU has a 24 hour prep rule meaning that once a train has been prepared for service, that is only good for 24 hours of service before another prep is required. Trains that are stabled away from a depot or sidings where maintenance and prep can take place (for example, Edgware Road 26 siding, or Watford platform and so on) will need to be changed over to ensure that the 24 hour prep is still valid. For this reason train 175 will begin its working at Hammersmith, late in the evening (usually around 23:00 depending on the TTN or WTT in place) then stable at Edgware Road siding towards close of traffic. As it was only prepared for service around 22:00 the night before, it will be fine to run for another 24 hours from then without another prep, so can stable in Edgware Road siding and start up again in the morning (as a differently numbered train) and run through to the early evening the next day. Edited to add: There are also various paths on the C&H, District and Met which run to change trains between depots and sidings, as the C&H cannot accommodate all the trains it needs for service on its own line. These changeover paths (for example, Hammersmith Sidings to Upminster depot, or Neasden Depot to Hammersmith Sidings) can also be known as changeover trains, as they change over stock between the depots.

As far as I'm aware from 26-30 Dec and possibly also 24 Dec District is only running a South Kensington to Upminster shuttle at 5 minute intervals. Hammersmith & City Line is running as normal. No circles on the southern half of the circle, because there's no place to reverse them, so they reverse at Aldgate.. Apologies for the mis-information, scheduler is indeed correct, as the Duty Sheets have now been issued. LU Scheduling Services will probably correct their issued information on Friday. The service mentioned above (Upminster to Edgware Rd via Victoria) seems to be a copy of last year's Christmas service. This does not appear to be in operation this year, with no District west of South Ken and no Circle between Aldgate and Edgware Rd via Embankment and Victoria.

You get a good view of central london, but being practically next to new scotland yard, you were not allowed to take pictures in that direction. That has been demolished now so no problem anymore! This photo looks to have been taken from Windsor House rather than Broadway. Even still it is a bit odd having such a change to the view. Never mind; it is soon to be filled with some towers of flats.

Colin's reply is already comprehensive! What you may not see, when a Special Trains Notice is issued, is that there is the timetable for the train on one page, but also "consequential timetable alterations" on subsequent pages, listing the times where other trains have had their workings altered in a minor way, to accommodate the special working path.
The timetablers take great care when working these paths out, just to make sure nothing is *too* changed, as this may have other implications for the rest of the railway, changeover trains, other stock moves or paths, duty changeovers, and so on.
Other trains will (as Colin says) have their booked stands reduced at various places, or be stood somewhere for a little longer than usual (taking into consideration signals, points and normal headway etc) so that this path can work. That's the theory, anyway! Actual practical "what happens" is at mercy of all of the variables of operation!

Multiple Audio Graphical Information Controller found out today it's basically a interface between Trackernet and the newer style DMI's where the a traditional interface between the TD and the older style light boxes where not installed. Ho, ho, ho. It's MAGIC... You know.... (Oh dear).

Is it possibly because all the other stations to the left and right of Gloucester road, on the map, also have D&C line interchanges?
It is similarly laid out on the Circle/HamCity/Wimbleware train map with District line interchanges along the bottom of the Circle - only the two eastern and westmost interchanges are listed as with the District line too.
