I'm currently coming down to Acton to pick the train up there... shame that's all I could do but work etc. gets in the way.

I'm semi considering being stupid and heading down to grab it for the final part of the journey, or at least being at Ealing B/Way at the end, but sounds like there's no chance of being on it

IMO I think the reforming of T4 would be unlikely today... just a shame it finishes at 1820 as I'd have probably considered diving in to London after work but wouldn't be there until well after it stabled.

Would paid staff agree to work for free? I suspect that would very much depend on the staff in question... I suspect that some staff would be quite willing to give up their time, and not be paid for it but others may not... and it's then balancing them up.

I'm just hoping LU have bought decent LEDs for the signals, or they could end up rather more expensive than normal light bulbs if they need to be replaced... and I'd also guess that depending on how signalling and fault detection works could probably also require a change to that, not just the head.

High Wycombe, which sits in a valley? Although that applies to the whole town not just the station

Yesterday, about 1830, the train destination boards on the Picadilly Line at Green Park were showing "Barons Court" terminators for anything going to Rayners Lane / Uxbridge it seemed... any reason why as the night before it was showing them correctly.

Tonight's script editor obviously didn't know what the tube lines are called before the voice over chap recorded them

I seriously hope the 'hologram' fake person things don't last long and are only a trial, completely rubbish idea, who the hell would come up with that?! Liverpool Lime Street (Low Level) has something similar to that talking about how you should travel on Merseyrail. It's very bizarre. There's also something similar at Luton Airport talking about what you should do with liquids before boarding a plane.

From the picture" Train 760, 10:30 Acton Works to Neasden depot via Ruislip, Amersham and Watford"
That seems an awfully long route to me to get from Acton to Neasden?

So in the meantime, the delivered S Stock just sit at West Ruislip Depot for ages? There's been one there that's been there all week as far as I can see, and previous to that there were two of them!

The only reason money is involved is our pay deal was due up for renegotiation. London Underground wanted night tube attached to the same negotiations, so its them that have created the muddled mess we're now in with the media. Presumably that works in their favour - "Joe Public" think the strike is about pay, and then criticise the tube drivers for earning so much and demanding such huge pay rises, rather than being about work/life balance etc. meaning that the unions look like the bad guys in the strike?

I was in Moorgate station today and noticed a temporary/permanent structure in the trackbed furthest from the live running lines... anyone any idea what that's about?

Is this just for the W&C? It seems an odd line to do liveried trains on if you ask me!

So, none of the bus options seem to solve getting to Ickenham / Hillingdon (which is at least walkable from West Ruislip) after a night out...

Does anyone know why the Night Tube will not be running on the West Ruislip branch?

Does anyone know if TfL have a historical records department that might have information about old stations? We're doing some research in to the history of a property bordering Ickenham (and probably the old Ickenham Halt) and are looking for some information...

I saw one come in to Ickenham today with a nice new front... I'm 99% sure I've seen them on the '96s as well.

I'll pencil it in, but I think I have two other things on that day potentially, so will see.... or it might be like last year where I need to run off from the pub!
