I notice the Jub is suspended between Nesden and Stratford due to a power failure... is this a drawback to TBTC or would this have happened before the change to TBTC?

I have no idea on the station, but do wonder what the bonus point is for...

When I booked and paid over the phone... I was given a choice of cars... Interesting, when I phoned up in the morning, they didn't give me a choice of cars...

If people booking online can have a choice of car, why didn't people on the phone get that same option too?
Especially given the online option wasn't available when some of us booked it...

Especially as they didn't mention that it was a specific seat when I was on the phone to them to book it yesterday morning, before it became available online.
Could it be that the seats thing is actually just for the online booking system?

I think I posted this in chat rather than here...
Perhaps those of us going from the forum should arrange to meeting up before the tour starts?

They said they'd be sending the tickets next week, so not sure if that means they'll be on sale after that or not.

Likewise, and I did mention that to the lady on the phone as I phoned up first to confirm the date before I booked the tickets as May is a busy month for me.

BTW, it is Sunday 15th May - which the website doesn't seem to say as far as I can see.

What percentage of TOps can drive S8s?
(If you can say that, of course!)

Just ended up on an S Stock to Uxbridge, and it's a pity there's the Clock thing at the top of platform 2/3 or I could have had a better picture than I managed of an S Stock, 73ts and A Stock in the platforms at Uxbridge.

Apparently the stopping mark thing happened at Eastcote too, the other night there... and someone pulled the PEA as the doors wouldn't open.

Just in case it hasn't been posted elsewhere (couldn't see it anywhere), 'S' Stock ran to Aldgate in passenger service today for the first time. Ooh, I didn't think there were usually any S-Stock's out and about on a Sunday Where else did it run too/from?

I think when Chiltern have done that in the past, they've offered a shuttle minibus between the two...

Ah, OK - so I think I follow - it's basically a way of using a crossover where it's behind the train's starting position?

For fear of taking this thread off-topic, I was wondering what a 'Mainline shunt' is?

Damn, if I got home earlier / had checked this on the way home, I'd have thought about heading out to PR to see it!
Dstock: I thought prjb / Met Control had said that it was expected to miss it due to a couple of events (something tells me the gapping at Uxbridge etc.) but I can't remember where I read it!

No sign of any secret door leading to Buckingham Palace I should add though! Well, of course not... if you could see it, it wouldn't be a secret and any Tom, Dick or Harry could find it 21146 - I'm beginning to wonder if you ever actually sleep though, as you always seem to be able to get pictures at crazy hours... which I'm sure we all appreciate

I'm sure it will all come out in the wash (or someone will have driven past it) as I'm assuming at some point the RAIB will be involved?

I'd go for the Neasden Depot entrance too, but would say from Wembley Park side...
