The system is really starting to annoy me now. It diverts to the Virgin Media splash page *every time* I enter a new station. It used to be once a day. So, by the time the VM page has loaded, the train is just entering the tunnel.

Any idea what the route will be?

What's the Rail Tour?

Are they still running? Do we have a date yet for the final passenger service?

It's one day. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Also, the wifi map has finally been updated: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/corporate/wifi-stations-map.pdf It shows that all of the stations have now been activated (except the Overground stations plus Camden Town). (Of...

Can't remember where I saw it, but a big part of the reason they're doing it pre-Olympics is to target foreign visitors, so they can use wifi without roaming charges.

Are any S7s running in passenger service yet?

Why avoiding Crossrail? Because the wifi boxes/wires will have to be disconnected when work starts? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- This is REALLY annoying me! From the Virgin Media website: "Why does the Virgin Media Portal always appear when I open my browser in a station...

I haven't done a speedtest, but it seems excellent. As fast, if not faster than my home wifi (15mbps). That's probably because I'm the only person using it.

Currently live at every station on the Victoria Line. More due this month, and another load next month. By the Olympics, this will be the situation: http://pictures.recombu.com/digital/news/M10549/1338545716.jpg There will be a further 40 stations by the end of the year. It is pretty amazing...

I think it's quite easy, they just block access to the ports that VoiP apps use. I've been on certain 3G networks where they do that. Never seen it on a wifi network, but I don't think it would be hard to do (you could even do it at home if you want!).

They could bar VoiP apps like Skype (because they eat up bandwidth). That would keep the Tube free of the scourge of (voice) phones.

Anyone got a link/source?

Are they trying to formally close the line?

That's really interesting Mutant! Thanks. The Bakerloo reverse sounds interesting, when is that? (And what's an ECS?). I'd love to discover some RRs - but I don't understand the working timetables! Can someone help me out, or give me a few interesting examples please! Huge thanks.

Thanks, but the only LUL thing I could find on there (apart from Olympia) is: Northumberland Park Depot (Staff Platform or Cleaning Shed) - Seven Sisters [London Underground] [notes: Accessible only to or from Seven Sisters platforms 4 and 5. Northumberland Park Depot not accessible to the...

Amazing route! Any idea when the next one will be? So that would be: WCML - Old Oak Common - GWR - Greenford Spur - Chiltern

Are there any weird runnings, like the early morning Met over the Watford North Curve?

Thanks TEW. And am I right in thinking this is the only passenger service that goes through Old Oak Common? (And what's a blockade buster?)
