I thought the program was a bit rubbish to be honest... and I think both my housemate and I were in agreement that it actually made some of the "staff" involved in the film out to be lazy and actually painted a very bad view of the both LU and those staff involved in general.
One in particular caused him to comment that if you didn't like the job you were doing, then why are you actually still doing it??
I don't mean to offend any staff on this forum, if any is caused I apologise.

Are we identifying the ONE station or every station in the picture???

Part of it makes me wonder if it's Neasden Depot entrance....
D'oh - hadn't spotted other people are responded.

I'm sure sometimes there's a train number scrolls along in the side displays too... I've seen it occasionally, but not every time.

Would it have cost that much more (in the grand scheme of things) to fit at least some of the Battery Locos with TBTC? Then they might have been able to pull things like the TRV though...

If Chesham Station can accept a direct service from London, then the length of the train used for the shuttle service is surely not an issue. It would seem the problem is the other end of the shuttle can't accept a long train not the chesham end ;-)

Someone asked me yesterday where the Fire Extinguishers that used to be on the trains went, and why they were removed...
I don't remember them ever being on trains in the times I've been coming to London, but certainly some stock seem to have Fire Extinguisher points.
Anyone know?

chrisvandenkieboom: I wasn't trying to imply that the S-Stock were there for any other reason other than making an observation which is relevant to this forum

Is there a particular reason why 4 class 20 locos are used per S stock delivery? Something tells me that I've read that it's to do with the breaking forces required to stop the S-Stock... Not always delivered with 4 Class 20s either - sometimes they've been delivered with a Class 20, 2 Yellow Trailers at either end: www.flickr.com/photos/csogilvie/5983055992/in/photostream

Any ideas if this is actually running tonight? I've not seen anything on the places I usually find it, but hints here suggest it is...

I think an S8-1 is actually an S8 with a carriage missing, and not technically an S7 ;-)

Saw this today passing through Ickenham... It looked almost as loaded with people in Hi Viz as it would do with passengers!

Yeah, that's the Uxbridge bound one... which they conveniently shut and lock at nights so when you might want to wait in it, you can't. </rant></offtopic>

Is that *really* such a problem for Chesham though?

That's obviously the Uxbridge bound waiting room at Ickenham, as the London-bound one is usually toasty warm... as for the station in the image, it looks a nice waiting room...

Just saw an s stock go past leicester! How's it getting to the met? Down the mainline to Princes Risborough, Up to Aylesbury, then down to Amersham -> Neasden via the Chiltern line.

IIRC some Fast services run up and down the slow lines...

I thought the Class 20s departed on a Thursday? By all accounts they are still at Neasden today, and we're there last night too.

Finally you keep saying that its best to wait for the correct train at the origin, however I find its worth getting any met train and change at harrow as there is a chance to overtake a uxbridge train. That's a choice you make... so can you really complain when you're waiting at Harrow on a train?

Who drives the trains going for Scrap? Is it drivers or test train ops?

Perhaps the management will put in a dashed line like they used to on the maps to indicate 'peak hours only' ;D Dashed lines now seem to indicate National Rail services....

For some reason, I want to say Harrow on the Hill... but I seriously doubt that's correct!

Much prefer them to the '67 and A Stock... my only decent trip on a '67 was the 'First and Last' tour out in the open...
