I believe it's Cockfosters, Arnos Grove, Acton Town (District), Earls Court and Morden

Splendid news and you mean 22nd August right?

You could throw North Greenwich into the mix. I saw that list and almost starting crying at how long it is. 1787323590 https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/which-london-underground-route-has-the-most-stations-in-daylight.301262/page-2#post-7844664 This is the post that @bramling made a while...

No more 09-reg buses on London services. I think the last one operated either later last year or early this year. Arriva's DW263 and DW266 are the oldest buses in london service being registered January 2010

Well what do you expect with so much red taping and things that should have been ironed out and this is not the first time in a project this has occurred but let me not talk too much

This I'm not surprised about. At this point let's just pray it gets into service before this decade ends.

In theory that would work but then let's say one of those trains assigned to the H&C/Circle is defective they would need to borrow one from the district which could then leave the allocation a bit lop sided and vice versa so to save time it's better to keep it intact so they can mix around as...

So EP stands for Entry Point. It's used when there's a signal failure and a procedure would need to be carried out. An EP board with an X on it would be the clearance point. (Limit of the move). I'm sure someone else on here can go into more detail but I'm explaining the simplest version

It's interesting you mentioned the pre 1990s depots. Edgware still has some stuff in place before they moved it over to Golders. Same with Barnet. I think with LU they're all about people moving up so when someone actually likes the job it's baffling towards them as they're like but why. The Met...

I mean it made sense to unify the sub surface lines under one stock. 1782935013 Isn't the dot matrix boards that were located inside the carriages and the side windows technically considered as electrical work or would you still class that as cosmetics?

The district line springs to mind when the D78 stock was refurbished between 2004 and 2008 and then the withdrawals started from 2014/15 until 2017

Ah in regards to Hammersmith now it makes sense. On the Met line. All three of the depots have a fairly long waiting list with possibly Neasden being the quickest one to get into though Harrow on the Hill slyly reminds me of Earl's Court on the district line being the crew of the line. Barking...

I've seen some duties books from all of depots from all of the lines and in regards to the Kennington loops. I think Morden depot has Golders beat especially on the weekends and it's interesting the way you broke it down from how militant things were. From a few people I know in the knowhow a...

Quick question. What made the H&C militant. I've heard of stories about Edgware Road depot historically being notorious. In regards to the other depots I would say a decent depot to be at would be East Finchley on the Northern line. Golders and Morden are a bit more intense.

Waterloo on the Southbound platform is another place where it's notorious for trains overshooting the platform
