I find it quite bizarre to close the entire H&C, wouldn't a Moorgate/Liverpool Street turnback be better? A 10min Circle service from Hammersmith is deemed adequate

As far as I could tell, the only thing that needs to be done to open the main (Whitechapel High Street) entrance would be to take the hoardings down and perhaps a bit of tidying up - way less than a two day job. On the platforms, remove the last of the temporary lighting masts, temporary scaffolding towers holding up the temporary cable ducting, fill and retile the holes left. Remove the temporary signage.

What is the reason for the West Ham to Tower Hill shut this weekend? Not a 4LM matter. So that Whitechapel station can have it’s long closed Whitechapel Road entrance/exit reopened and new Durward Street access opened. The temporary building on Court Street has now closed and the hoardings are being removed for reopening on Monday.

Does that mean Piccadilly line trains can't serve District line stations anymore during closure? (Well at least for Chiswick Park and the odd Stamford Brook) Turnham Green and Ravenscourt Park would still be available eastbound.

Any update on when the next section of the upgraded ATO will take place ie west of Sloane Square and the District line in the Earl’s Court area and the Circle line via High Street Kensington to Paddington ( Circle line ) plus High Street to Fulham Broadway via Earl’s Court, not forgetting the Olympia branch. Thanks. Provisionally 6/7 November 2021, with a fallback to January available

From Sat 4 September at Hammersmith 22A/B and 23A/B points will be plain-lined, thus preventing eastbound local trains access to the fast (Picc) line and eastbound fast trains access to the eastbound local (District).
Piccadilly trains departing Acton Town platform 4 must not accept WL106 route 1 (EB local) District trains departing Acton Town platform 4 must not accept WL106 route 2 (EB fast) to Hammersmith District trains can be reversed via Barons Court sidings in extreme circumstances.

Any chance they would change the eastbound between Moorgate and Liverpool Street. The past few months it has been a joke running around 10-15mph. eastbound: Kings Cross-Farringdon -½min Moorgate-Liverpool St -¼min Liverpool St-Aldgate East -½min

Is "to better reflect actual performance" a euphamism for "slowed down", or has it been sped up? Could someone describe the southbound changes in more detail? Is there a significant change in journey times between Amersham/Chesham and Baker Street/Marylebone? Northbound Barbican-Farringdon -½min Farringdon-Kings Cross -¼min Kings Cross-Euston Sq -¼min Great Portland St-Baker St -½min Baker St-Finchley Rd -¼min Rayners Lane-Uxbridge +½min (RL-Ec +½, Ik-Hid -½, Hid-Ux +½) Southbound Uxbridge-Rayners Lane +½min (Ec-RL +½) Finchley Rd-Baker St -1¼min Kings Cross-Farringdon -½min Moorgate-Liverpool St -¼min Liverpool St-Aldgate -1min Marylebone-Harrow +/- same Harrow/Amersham/Watford/Chesham +/- same

Services resumed this morning however it seems only the eastbound track received the full concrete slab and flat-bottomed rail treatment at Embankment. Wondering if a second round of closure will now be needed?

very slight retiming in new Timetable from 12 September, as Piccadilly, District, H&C and MET are going to ¼ min increments:
Acton Town: Mon – Sat 00.56¾ - 00.59 westbound Piccadilly to westbound Piccadilly 23.54¾ ex Cockfosters due 00.56¾, 00.59 ex Acton Town to Uxbridge Sun 00.02 - 00.04½ westbound Piccadilly to westbound Piccadilly 23.01 ex Cockfosters due 00.02, 00.04½ ex Acton Town to Uxbridge
every ¼min helps!

This style dates from the 1920s Morden extension and rebuilding of the Northern from the smaller bore to the more standard 12” diameter tunnels, therefore King William Street would’ve had the previous style. The City & South London Railway ended at Clapham Common
St. James’s Park also has this style

Back to Engineering work at Embankment, has any one have information on how is progressing, , has the old steel decking under the District & Circle line been cut out yet. - track and wooden sleepers lifted - preparatory work was done before the blockade, including these troughs for the concrete to settle - eastbound flat-bottomed rail awaiting concrete pour, westbound track still on wooden long timers

Probably (actually no, almost certainly) a silly question, but is this WTT publicly available anywhere? Not yet, probably after the extension opens in September.

With trial operations now underway, various details have now made their way into the public domain with the conformation of a 6 tph peak and 5 tph off-peak service on the NLE when it first opens rising to a 12 tph peak and 10 tph off-peak service after in 2022 (presumably after the Bank Branch blockade). Mill Hill East is also confirmed as getting the remainder of it's direct service restored. TFL Press Release hereWTT58: Battersea trains every 12min off-peak via Charing Cross; pattern= Barnet, Mill Hill, Barnet, Barnet, Barnet each-hour. 15min service from Mill Hill alternating: Morden via Bank; Battersea via Charing Cross; Morden via Bank; Kennington via Charing Cross each hour. still 15tph off-peak Charing Cross trains use Kennington loop

The Central doesn't really operate with a loop though; it's effectively split in two at Hainault, I believe. A train stabling in Hainault depot at one end and re-entering service at the other end, will be turned.

I'd imagine having the maps facing the direction that the train is travelling - for example all the maps would have Epping at the eastern end of the train and West Ruislip at the western end. Ok for the W&City but the Central has a loop!

Ah right. Any updates in the W&C examples yet? I understand a 2-car unit (possibly 006) is being worked upon at Waterloo.
