Indeed, I suppose that's one of the advantages of a common stock set. You can send them anywhere if you really want to.

I'd be surprised at that service as you have issues relating to driver route knowledge, journey length, propagation of delays, etc.
Given that when it comes to infrastructure LU's priority over the last quite a few years has been segregation (for simplicity and reduced maintenance, etc) over flexibility (alternatives in times of disruption and special events, etc.) (witness the removal of crossovers in several locations) I'd be surprised if the services being run when S stock rollout is complete are very different to what we see today.

I remember a thread on here a couple of years ago discussing District drivers being route trained over the north side of the Circle. From memory the feeling at that time was that the only likely change would be training east-end drivers on HSK to Edgware Road (most of whom don't currently do any C stock workings).

Edit: Either I can't find the thread in question or I've conflated a few. Part of what I remember is in this post and the one it quotes; and some is in this thread. I suspect the rest may be in one of the other many threads about either S stock introduction or the change in the Circle line route.

Hmm. Perhaps the program to install MIP lifts accross the system isn't for the benefit of the disabled of London but a ploy by shady people behind the scenes to make it easier for the Dalek invasion to succeed. Indeed the plan to remove drivers would fit in with this theory by removing the hinderance to the invasion that human drivers would provide.
Railtechnician and his fellow dedicated engineering staff would be there within minutes with sonic screwdrivers and other kit carted up and down stopped escalators to back up their train-bourne collagues in defending this great metropolis from alien invasion, but once they've been privatised they can't do anything that isn't in the contract and if I had a house I'd stake (sp?) it on Dalek invasion not appearing once in any of the volumous reams of paperwork associated with the PPP contracts nor the TfL buyouts.
It doesn't end there, oh no! Just look at the S stock. The old stocks had to go because no Dalek could ever get through those interconnecting doors so they'd need 8 per train, but with those nice wide gangways just one or two could subdue even the most densely packed bunch of commuters.
I've yet to work out how the 09 stocks fit the plan (or maybe they were a rare victory for the planetary defence forces - no self respecting Dalek would be seen dead with sensitive egdes) but the EVOstuck, as those bastions of human dignity Ceiling Cat and Auxy have christened it, has all the hallmarks of out new Dalek overlords' doing. Walk through cars, smaller gaps between train and platform, automatic driverless operation - how could I not have seen it before!?
I'm presently sat on a Jubilee Line train, and it really isn't far from 'This train terminates here' to 'Exterminate'...
Gentlemen and Ladies, in the name of our fearless but sadly departed leader District Dave, I call upon you to stand firm (but not in the doorways or on the left hand side of escalators) in your defence of the Human way of life in London! We will together prevent any takover of our beroundelled transportation network. We shall fight them in London Fields,

we will fight them on Carshalton Beaches. We will never give in, we shall never surrender!
Under the guise of a trip to see some models in Acton there will be a stategy meeting on one Saturday this month. See other thread for details. byo custard.
