Yes, they were apparently at Ashfield House a few weeks ago.

Just happened to switch on London live showing repeats. There's still A-Stock running around so a second one is long overdue!

Must remember to smile if I notice filming coming into stations.
On the other hand better not.

Filming is underway, we had them on the Met side at KXX last night - I managed to avoid them! They have apparently also been working their way around a number of other stations and train depots.
For the record, it's a Blast Films production for Channel 5. So it'll be interesting to see the angle...

Does anyone know when this will be broadcast - a bit early perhaps  |

Notices up at Greenford about filming by Blast Films so the angled lift might be in it

So I finally got found to speaking to one of my friends at Blast! films. Whilst she's not directly working on the project, she said she doesn't think that they've got a transmission date in mind yet.
Apparently, it was hoped that a story or two could focus on the Night running aspect of things, which is why filming started up when it did. Depending on how long TfL take to get their act together, they might still want to keep this as a focus. Current rumours amongst the production team suggests that TfL are hoping for a March 2016 start for 24hr running. Therefore an air date for the series is likely to be late-spring/early-summer.
Bare in mind nothing is set in stone and a lot of info is just based on maybe's, possibly's and the rumour mill!
The above is just to give an indication of where current thinking is, and things are always subject to change!

They were filming at London Bridge on Saturday, and Westminster EB District/Circle line platform earlier last week.

Excellent - thanks for the notification!
I've just looked it up on the Radio Times website; the series is eight-part and commences at 9pm on that date. I was interested to read the accompanying information:
Statistically, is that true about the Picc's unreliability?

I shouldn't think so, in terms of the rolling stock the Bakerloo Line would probably take the biscuit, and it would also take it for the amount of times the NR signalling beyond Queen's Park goes wrong. Of course, I would have handed the Metropolitan the "Broken Signalling Award" but things aren't quite as bad now as they were in 2002 (from my own eyes anyhow).

With the rather negative ER atmosphere at the time I'm surprised they managed to find anyone prepared to be filmed. I know everyone at my location declined the invitation, in the end one grudgingly accepted upon the offer of overtime. If I'd done it I would probably have had a certain supplier of not-very-good signalling on my case, especially if they turned up for a Jubilee or Northern journey during rainfall! |

I'm excited bar one point... it's on Channel 5! I'd have more faith in a quality programme if the BBC were still involved. But of course I can't make much comment until after actually viewing it!

Talking of adverts, and C5, my advice is to record it, so you can speed through the ads, rather than watching it on players!

Just watched the first episode on catch up TV. I left LUL/TfL in 2005 passengers don't change even after all this time some think that it's easy to run the network and they have the solution. I would be interested in finding out how they would run it.

Yes it was really interesting, I wonder what components Tube lines had to get from eBay to keep the 73's running. The show really does show just how the whole tube is reaching its limits. |

Yes, and the govt in its infinite wisdom wants development around stations!

No luck. It's only for the UK.

Colindale is an example of a place where tower blocks keep going up, the scale and density of which is frankly distasteful. At the rate things are going up there will probably be enough demand just from there to fill up the Edgware branch. |
