Hi All I was at Camden Town on Monday evening and saw this. Any ideas what the 2nd train via platform 2 was about please?   I was running late or I would have gone and seen what it was. Turned out they held the next Bank train from the other platform anyway!  Cheers Shell |

No idea what it's about, but this and this will explain why it wasn't stopping at Mornington Crescent - it wouldn't be going through it! |

Whenever a train terminates at Euston (Bank branch) that message will always display on the DMI, as it did during the boxing day strike.

Train is reversing from the Euston bank branch platforms. Since there is an apparent belief that "Euston via Bank" is misleading to the customers (as the train will not be carrying on to Bank) "not via Mornington Crescent" is the compromise. No such move is timetabled at that hour. Was this a reform to cover a gap in one branch, or was the train being returned to the depot? No idea what it's about, but this and this will explain why it wasn't stopping at Mornington Crescent - it wouldn't be going through it! "Look at the map and figure it out yourself" is not the kindest greeting for a new member making her first post...just sayin'  |

Usually trains reversing there are late running Kennington via Charing Cross trains, or any train that for some reason is out of sequence.
The 1995 stock will display "Euston via Bank" on the front though.

Does Sonia announce "The next stop is Euston, via Bank, where this train will terminate. All change please, all change."?

More like the following: The next station is Euston, Bank Branch. <doors open> This station is Euston, Bank Branch. Change here for Southbound Northern Line services via Charing Cross, from Platform 2, and for Victoria line, and Main Line InterCity and Suburban Rail Services. This train terminates here. All change. Please make sure you have all your belongings with you. |

Surely, there must be more, commas, involved?

I've been on such a service around that time. Was heading for London Bridge and couldn't resist seeing it terminating there. Was a slick operation. |

Shell The NR symbol might be indicating that the train will reverse into the King's Cross Loop, run down the Piccadilly, Rayner's Lane, reversing off a bay there down the Met main, taking the Jubilee at Neasden, crossing over to the Bakerloo at Baker Street, reversing once more, and again at Queen's Park, and then following the Watford DC line to Euston. That might be what they're trying to say. |

I was being facetious  unlikely is an understatement - Northern line trains can't even draw power south of Kilburn High Road I wonder if any Bakerloo line trains have ever done a District Dave towards Euston? |

Not sure what you mean by this but during problems (can't remember when) but Kilburn High Road has seen a Bakerloo Line train with passengers on. |

I am sure there is something in the regulations somwehere which state that Bakerloo's to/from Kilburn High Road must not carry passengers.
However, that is not to say fleetline is wrong in seeing one with punters on - stranger things have happened ;D ;D

No idea what it's about, but this and this will explain why it wasn't stopping at Mornington Crescent - it wouldn't be going through it! Confused as to how this is done efficiently reversing SB-NB. This diagram www.trainweb.org/tubeprune/Euston%20&%20KX-leu5-4.gif would seem to imply that the train would have to traverse Euston Loop, and then enter the NB tunnel in the wrong direction at Kings Cross. Or does it go onto Kings Cross Loop to enable the driver to change ends and not block up the Northbound Service? |
