Tomorrow after the RMT meeting surely strike dates will be announced. Company has doubled down in saying 5% is final and will be imposed regardless. Interesting what will happen next. The RMT National Executive Committee (NEC) are meeting on Thursday 21 December 2023 they will decide what action will be taken as a result of the ballot of the members on London Understand.

The track recording train (TRV) has two 1960 cravens motor cars and LUL had to ask CHT to loan them the motor’s from the 1960 motor cars that belong to Cravens Heritage Trains to keep the TRV running. This was cheaper than using cars of the 67/72TS units that were scrapped. The TRV is a 1973 stock trailer car which has a the kit to do the track recording.

Failure of signal equipment at Pinner can occur for a number of reasons, the Met Line north of Finchley Road is still awaiting to be updated so this existing equipment is more likely to cause delays.

Well the Sunday Service on the Central Line has fewer trains than other days If all the trains with graffiti were cancelled hardly any trains would be in service .

Zbang thanks for the link re the flashed over Motor, the Cental Line 1992 stock does indeed have DC motors and the Winter weather in the UK has increased the the amount of train’s out of service.

Re the paint colour of vent shaft at York road I have no idea, but in the 1920s most paints would have contained lead and the range of colours would not be as great as today.

Sealingmark the idea of yours about how to close platforms is not doable due to the high cost of rearranging the track and signals.

The Rail Gap jumpers in your photo are the modern type that LUL use they have a magnet to hold them on the current rails, Red is positive, blue is negative. Only staff who are trained and hold a license can use them. The Orange boxes are CRIDs (Current Rail Indicator Device) again you need a license to use them.

Externally the train has been thoroughly cleaned but not received new vinyl. I that a strip of black duct tape on the driver's cab? No the black strip on the cab door is the rubber seal. If it was “duck tape” the door would not open .

The pile of sand may be for permanent way staff if the track in the platform was being refurbished. Sand for fire buckets was usual stored in a red metal bin placed near the head wall.
