I'm sat at home with a pretty grim cold, and I don't want to go out - so I've been auditing the TTN library over the past three days. As a result I've been looking through the timetable notices with a rather fine-tooth comb.
I was quite pleased to see that in a recent Central engineering TTN a) there is non-stopping back on the Central [1] and b) it follows the same as the old series of notes where CE was non-stop Blake Hall and CF was staff stop only at Blake Hall; because there were several trains that had the column note CG non-stop Grange Hill, Chigwell and Roding Valley in the recent TTN.
Nice to see a return to the old ways! Even with the Notting Hill Carnival TTNs non-stopping codes were not used for late night trains; or when Chancery Lane and Fairlop were closed on Sundays and Blake Hall was closed early in the morning/late at night. The 'C' series of column notes became merely 'miscellaneous footnotes' after WTT 47 (19/11/84) and I think the only survivor has been CU used when a train is scheduled for a shed day at Hainault.
Can anyone else remember when non-stopping column notes were last used on the Central in modern times - I've not got a lot of Central engineering TTNs, so haven't got a large corpus of stuff for reference.
[1] I think the last serious use of non-stopping codes away from the Christmas Day services was for the Coronation services in TTN 89/53.
