Can I make a request please?

I can't help but think that i am the only person here who doesn't work for the Underground, and therefore can't understand the technical stuff. (sorry!) So could you please simplify it. Please?! (that doesn't sound ignorant, does it?) Or maybe we could come up with a dictionary! Any technical terms could be defied for future reference. I don't mind making it, if i'm given the info. Any other ideas?

Sorry for being such an ignorant little enthusiast!!!!!!

Chris

Does it work for anyone else?

An excellent point Chris, and thanks Dmitri for putting up the link to Tubeprune's page.

'We' can be guilty at times of forgetting that not everyone's familar with our 'language' so - please - if there's ever any expressions/jargon etc. used that you (or anyone else of course) don't understand, do ask!

I'm sure solidbond agrees with this statement - the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask!

Thanks for confirming the problem. I've notified Tubeprune of it, and hopefully service will be restored soon. That site has plenty of the LU-related information, but it's difficult to use without a home page which is currently missing
