bakerloo i know used to be south london house not sure if it still is?

And, from next month IIRC, H&C will also have a depot at Hammersmith.

Yes and from the end of the year Loughton will also re-open.

No, I believe there were plans to have a crew depot there at one time. Mabey an (ex)Jubilee bod can confirm or deny this.

Thanks Jim for the help here but I was thinking that the tread will be longer

Correct!
The trains are stabled at Stratford but the crew depot is at North Greenwich. I did hear the reason for this decision once but I can't remember now! Maybe Towerman knows.

Hah, that staff halt next to the main running lines always amused me when I rode past it on a Jubbly train...

When I worked on Northern Line in 1980 's there were seven train crew depots-

Edgware , Golders Green , High Barnet , East Finchley , Euston , Kennington and Morden.

Only Morden , Golders Green and East Finchley survive . Though Barnet and Edgware

survive as ` remote booking on and off points '. Trains are also outstabled at the

latter two locations . Does anybody else remember the musician Jah Wobble as a

driver at Kennington ? The only other celebrity that I can think of having worked

on the tube is the camp comedian Julian Clary who worked as a guard at Parsons

Green in the early / mid 1980 's or are there more ?

*Apparently* when he was there he threw the organisation into chaos by insisting on a female uniform.

The rules IIRC said a uniform must be worn, but wasn't more specific than that.

Back in the days when our beloved company tried to remove shorts from our uniform, the drivers mostly ignoreds the bulletins and kept on wearing them. The station staff and on-train customer service staff, however, were subject to a lot of harassment from management.

One male staff member then started wearing a skirt, since we had a similar clause stating only that uniform was to be worn -nothing about males only wearing male uniform items exclusively. He got a lot of attention, made it into a few local papers and news shows, especially, after Connex threatened to fire him, and eventually Connex management got a round of red faces and mumbled something about "possibly revising the uniform policy".

Which of course made quite a few memebers of male staff put in orders for uniform skirts.

As of today, shorts are still a part of our official uniform.

I met Julian Clary when he was `displaced ' off the District Line on the introduction

of OPO . He was at Kennington or Morden can 't remember which . He was camp

and outrageous even then.

He should've fitted right in ;D ;D
