Did anyone see new tricks on BBC 1 last night?
They were walking around what I imagine is Hammersmith depot with an actor as an LUL driver.
Looked quite convincing hi-vi vests and all that, driver had his plastic name badge on.
They even mentioned that the Circle line is no longer a circle

It was Hammersmith (though I'm sure they said Acton!)
I think that the actor was meant to be a Depot Manager... Can't be very good as they walked over the yellow safe lines and the one didn't have his hi-vis done up!

They definitely said Acton. I think he was the driver of the train. I noticed in the depot shots that they were walking along the middle of the shed road actually between the yellow safety lines. Not good practice I wouldn't have thought. I noticed that they closed the J door from the passenger side. I hope they didn't have a J door key. :-)

Nice of a TV or film company to get (railway) things right for once.

I watched that episode. I thought they were going to say that the man was killed as a train made its way from Edgware Road to the Hammersmith depot. But he wasn't. Great episode anyway!

And great that they have used actual places and not given the station a daft 'fake' name!
