Were there any interesting/unusual driver/platform announcements?

That's hilarious. I was wondering why we were stuck outside Harrow for so long! The long goodbye. Come on then, I want to see the pics that held up our journey ;)

Is that the one on Sunday 13 Jan? Is anything happening on the anniversary itself?

The first carriage, otherwise known as 'the people who cheer when the doors close' ;)

I regretted not bringing a screwdriver! Only 4 screws.

The 150th anniversary is fast approaching. Apologies if you've already read this (it's from 2011). These are the TfL plans for the anniversary (has anything changed since this was written?). http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/Item06-London-Underground-150th-Anniversary.pdf Some questions...

Was there a fear by some of TfL's RPI that revealing their identity on The Tube on BBC Two undermines plain clothes operations? Cos now those staff are famous(ish)!

My *only* complaint was that the driver didn't do a super-special announcement as we pulled into Harrow for the final time. Instead he told us to say our goodbyes now and get off the train quickly as soon as we arrive. Followed by a grumpy platform announcer shouting at people to get off the...

That's a lovely story! I enjoyed watching the commuter heads turn as we pulled into the platforms (literally, their heads turned, after they saw the headboard!). One girl, a doctor, got on with her friend at Barbican in the evening peak and told her friend that it was the last A stock, and...

There you go. Baker Street platform 1, 26 September 2012, 0922.

Quite a few. I was on the peak Aldgate-Watford (1808) and that's my normal train. Normally out of Aldgate there are about 10 passengers. Today it was 75% full (that's about 300 passengers). It got steadily more and more full along the route to the point where I've never seen a Met carriage so...

I'm on the train. Normal passengers keep talking about how this is the last old train. One girl just called her friend to tell her. Do we know who's driving? Someone special?

Are any of the A-stock sets being retained by LU or the LTM? There are only 2 left in existence, right?

I understand that the Saturday trip is raising a lot of money for charity, which is good. But it's a real shame that the last public service (by which I mean, a train running a normal service pattern) isn't being celebrated like the Victoria Line 67 stock run was. Saturday is more like a...

Do you think that because of the Saturday £40 trip, they're not going to make such a big deal of the Wednesday running?

Very very good news. Thanks for confirming. On another note - does this mean all of the S8 sets have now been delivered?

Thanks for the info winterchief :)

That's EXCELLENT news. Really, really pleased about that. Thanks for the info.

Any update on this? Does this diagram still look valid? And is this certain to happen? Or is it just a backup in case an S8 is out of service?

I've heard rumours that the last passenger service A-stock will be on Wed 26 Sept (apart from the £40 farewell journey). Does that sound right? Anyone know times/routes?
