Wouldn't it just be better if the depots upfront allocated based on preferences, assuming an even split between those who prefer earlies and those who prefer lates? Why keep allocating people an even distribution when they are always going to end up swapping them through syndicates? Then you...

I do think some of his videos were a little on the long/repetitive side, and I also found the merchandise a little cringe, however I did really like his relaxed manner and he comes across as a decent guy. All the best to him in his new job.

I do wonder if the semi fast confuses matters if it's only skipping two stations, what is the actual time saving?

What are links?

The S stock? Surely the '09 stock is in more need?

The night tube he stole the glory for. Regarding the '92 refurb, I caught my first one the other day. I use the Central line most days and cannot believe it's taken this long, and only makes me question what a long road to completion the scheme will be at the rate it is going.

Interesting, why was that?

Slowwwwww progress in other words...

I had always assumed the Victoria line would be the starter line: fairly mundane, stuck below ground and automatic. The Piccadilly line, conversely, has a lot of route variety, good balance of dark/light sections and is technically more demanding as one that needs to be driven.

That's quite significant, they ought to make it clearer on the in-car line diagram. Mind you, the Elizabeth line in-car diagrams don't even show their fast/semi-fast services! So on that basis, it's a luxury.

How regular are semi fasts during week days? And don't some skip Wembley Park despite this not being made clear on the line diagrams?

Yes I'm hearing the S stock air con temperature is cooler than the Elizabeth line.

There was certainly promotional material showing the Fleet line and art work to show how it would interact with other lines at stations. However, given no social media, it does lead me to assume it would have been a more modest affair. Does anyone have any lived experiences of what it was like...

I noticed new cameras at Finsbury Park, presumably to feed the in-cab monitors? They're hanging on new gantries alongside the existing ones, a similar shape/size.

The light holders are problematic because bugs can get in through the holes, but die within the fixture and rest on the holes rather than falling through them!

Green text and capital M for "Mins" right? Yes I've seen those elsewhere too.

Metronet had a different system voiced by Sarah Parnell. However, yes, many Metronet stations had the Voice Perfect system already in place.

You are referring to a "voice Perfect" system announcement voiced by Henrietta Bess. Sadly most of these have been replaced with the inferior system voiced by Elinor Hamilton. It is probable Henrietta recorded her announcements in the late '90s when London Regional Transport still existed.

The reason being the trains sometimes change their destination, so the advice would be to board the first train and change later. The amount of times I've been on an Arnos Grove terminator and it has changed later on to a Cockfosters. Similarly, just because you've waited for a specific...

The aforementioned Victoria to Green Park has been on and off for a while.
