That's be about normal for the Met then!

Well, I know this may come as a shock, but between Stamford Brook and Earls Court, the onboard train displays and announcements and possibly driver announcement at Earls Court would all have told you where the train was going. Yes High Street Kensington is probably missing a fair few indicator...

Would be useful, but the Central line is VERY short of drivers, so no guarantees on that. W&C will open fully only if the Central has sufficient drivers to do so.

The basic base service on the District at the moment is:- 6tph Wimbledon - Edgware Road 6tph Wimbledon - Tower Hill/Barking/Upminster depending on time of day / day of the week 6tph Richmond - Upminster 6tph Ealing Broadway - Upminster This is supplemented with 6tph Circle and 6tph Hammersmith...

It was indeed, but the line is still in the midst of complex duty rostering to ensure all drivers become familiar with the Battersea extension, and not just one depot's drivers. The Bank blockade plus this ongoing training make rostering Night Tube at the current time impracticable. Therefore...

Bank = yes. Picc has South Harrow Sidings expansion works, and several other ongoing works related to Picc Line Upgrade that need to be completed prior to Night Tube restarting.

Central, Vic and Jub are the end of this month (November). Pic and Northern are postponed until major track work is complete.

Which is why Mill Hill branch was a shuttle, but we need the rolling stock to provide the Battersea service.

I doubt it would pass the cost benefit ratio analysis, that was the cause of the Met extension to Watford Jcn failing, when it transpired that the actual costs associated with the project were at least double the original estimate, it failed the cost benefit ratio analysis too.

TfL rail replacement bus policy is not to provide rail replacement bus services across Zone 1. Hence District replacement buses starting at Tower Hill and heading east via Canning Town (as low bridge precludes West Ham being served) towards Barking. On days when the District does not reach Tower...

This does not seem to make much sense. Presumably you were at Paddington Suburban platform, rather than the Circle/District platform. Then why did you have to wait for a Circle, what's wrong with a H&C train. And yes you could also have taken the Moorgate train and changed anywhere after Baker...

S8's are only driven by Met drivers. No Met drivers are qualified for routes east of Liverpool Street.

All trains have H&C/Circle numbers and will be called H&C on the train.

We do at Embankment. 1624894557 The Tower Hill bay platform was supposed to be made accessible at the east end to both east and west main running lines. For some reason this plan was abandoned and the points that were in removed.

Probably worth pointing out that District won't be running services at the east end of the closure, the whole service between Aldgate East and Upminster will be provided by the H&C/District combi-service with driver changes at Barking. The service pattern has previously operated on some weekends...

The District would not have been able to reverse at Tower Hill, whilst the traction current was off for Aldgate East points repair, as that whole junction area is all on one big switch, sub-switch'ing of sections during planned engineering works is possible, but not in this instance of emergency...

Yes, W&C re-opening has been brought forward. 3 trains peak-hours only service starts sometime this week.

Yes, if you have just missed a Harrow train anywhere south of Queens Park - the advice is to get the first train to Queens Park and join the Overground there, which will be running pretty much exactly half-way out of phase with the LU's to Harrow.

When the LO ran 3tph north of Queens Park (NR code: QPW; LU code: QUP), and LU ran 9tph (of which 6tph to Harrow) it was all pretty even. The LO was a clockface 20 mins, the LU Harrow's were clockface 10 mins and the 3 to STP were even with themselves every 20 mins, exactly 10 mins apart from...

Not necessarily. Sorry to be cryptic but nothing confirmed yet.
