As the article you linked mentions, ticket machines will be introduced next year. Is the first case where something opened with the lifts in working order but not the ticket machines?

I know this isn't specifically about the front design, but what was the point of making the 378s have internal pocket doors for these units to have plug doors?
On to the front, it's interesting that since this unit never had a front yellow cab it doesn't look all that much as if yellow is kissing. This is compared to how one expects new liveries on existing stock to look once they've been de-yellowed.

Thanks to those of you who've been posting pictures on various websites of the open houses. If you've got any publicy posted photos, I'd be very appreciative if you posted a link for those of us who weren't able to attend.

Is D the odd one out because it wasn't taken from a train/shows the underside of a bridge?

I'm graduating with a bachelors degree in civil engineering for an American public university.
While I'm not so much interesting in drainage I'd appreciate any conversation about the U.K. market and rail design. I'm in a unique position where I could work in the US or UK and I wanted some perspective on the UK market.

Hello all, I'm getting ready to finish up my studies in civil engineering this December and I was wondering if there were any engineers on the forums that do track design or signalling or overhead catenary or anything related to railways who wouldn't mind having a chat about the field, what they do and any general career advice. I figured there might be some of those folk on this forum. I know a few people in the signal design office and civils. Let me ask around if they are willing to have a chat. Thanks!

The map makes sense in hind sight as there is so much above ground "underground" that there may be people who never use the tube and didn't realize how out In the open their journey is. That said, we all know the tube map is a distorted diagram and because of that the entire point of the map is rather useless, since you don't actually get any information on distances, or better, time in tunnels

There was a bad batch but we use the same type as Tubelines as installed on the Picc when they do fail they do fail 9 out of 10 times short circuit so this will blow the feed fuse which can cause other issues. If they are too bright this is for yourself to take up with the members of the sighting committee which will address these issues with the maintainer / asset owner Not train related, but LEDs being installed that were too bright reminds me of an office project I was working on where all of the ceiling lights were replaced with LEDs. A couple of employees were so unhappy with the over-brightness that within a month they came through and redid all of the lights. Is the "sighting committee" a real entity or have I missed a tounge in cheek comment

These are the siding that will extend to Moorgate, right?
I'm afraid I've missed something. How will this set of siding and the platforms at Barbican interact with one another? Surely they won't Park a train in such sight for a vagrant to tag a train, and surely they don't want a platform face dead smack in the middle of the siding, with easy access to the sidings.

I wonder if they toyed with the idea of expanding some platforms during the bank northern line closure or the London bridge closure back for the JLE. Would have a been an insane future proofing venture...

Oh. Oh I think I actually know this one. Is it Turnpike Lane station, entrance to one of the public subways on the south side of Turnpike Lane and west side of Green Lanes.

Kris, your map looks excellent
The only qualm I have is the station names for Goodge st, Tottenham Court Rd, Russell Square, and Farrindgon.
What if you switched Russell Sqaure to be on the right side of the Picc (could also switch farringdon to the right side of the three lines), switched Goodge St to the right side of the northern and slightly higher and then Tottenham Court Road of the left, switching the connector blob. I think it's a bit odd to have two vertical stations' names horizontally.
Other than that fantastic map

Balloon's reach is the odd one out, but not for that reason (Barking is an Overground extension). Is it that all of the other planned extensions are actually in the works, like planning or construction phase?

Careful now, someone will be wanting a new set of trips programmed into S stock! Is there a maximum number of trips that can be stored, or is it (in theory, obviously) possible for there to be pre-programmed routes between every pair of stations on the SSR? Wimbledon to Chesham via Aldgate anyone? I was actually thinking about this the other day. Wouldn't it be possible to have a special "post wembley" set of trains that go in all of the directions around the circle and spoke off whenever possible?

Would this be the oldest train on the network with an unmodified exterior livery? I'm not counting the 92ts on account of the cab repaints

Somewhere on the Picc between Bounds Green and Arnos Grove?
Our guesses have to start somewhere!

Is going from Terminal 5 to Terminal 4 a common occurrence? Because it seems like an awfully strange that neither have a direct link, and on the Picc you've got to go all the way back to Hatton Cross. I wonder if there was any discussion about creating a T junction in the tunnel and running some T 5 via 4 and back out via 123 and running the rest T 123 via 4. Although I suppose running the majority of trains through 123 instead of 4 seems more logical.
On the subject of names, "This is a Piccadilly line train to Heathrow East and West" seems very unintuitive.

I'm still not convinced by the gateline layout. Looks bizarre to me. I know there will be many more when the remainder of the concourse opens but it feels terribly clumsy in the area near the ticket office with gates almost at 90 degrees to each other. What I'm a little confused by is that the set of escalators between 9 and 10 that connect the lower concourse and the upper concourse are part of the unpaid part of the station. If this was part of the paid area the upper level and lower level gatelines would look a lot tidier. But since passengers from upstairs need to be able to get to the ticket office, were stuck with an awkward layout. I've never actually had to use London Bridge NR, so I'm curious as to where the ticket office used to be and how passengers accessed it, considered the station seems to be have considered two stations up until about 48 hours ago.
