Is there a list of how many steps there are at each lift station. I have seen the map TfL produced but I mean the stairs that are in a separate shaft even closed stations if possible. TIA

Thanks I should have said Bakerloo adding another line after checking my notes on the Northern there are 118 RGIs and 2 RGIR.

Even if it lights up just as you get to it? I seem to remember being taught if you can't stop in time to shut off and coast into the next section. 1639592537 I thought there was more but on checking there are 31 RGIs and like you say 1 RGIR.

I'm sure unless the procedure is to quote the number the driver would just say where they are and they don't seem to be illuminated. 1636813171 I think you are right although only good for engineers as drivers only need to know where the gaps are. On LU/TfL these are known as rail gaps but no...

Thanks I suppose the drivers only need to know that there is a section gap as such I will try to have a look next time I'm up that way see what numbers and the difference to other ones.

Can anyone help when I worked on the Bakerloo north of Queens Park where there were sub station gaps know as Section Gaps and that is all there was but I have seen a photo (attached) that they now have numbers since being upgraded what does the number mean is it just to identify the gap or...

Thanks I thought it was from the photos I have seen on line but someone said they had a fixed line diagram as they had read somewhere.

Can someone tell me if the control room has a fixed diagram like the Vic line or is it screens? TIA

I finally watched the North End episode I had to laugh when they said emergency exit I think most fit people would find it difficult to use the stairs. As far as I can remember it is know as an intervention point for the emergency services. I'm sure there is a lift but don't think it is very big...

Yes the 'N' does indicate Northern and the Piccadilly is FPX like you say on the Bakerloo they resignalled many years ago and just had 'X'. X341 as far as I know is nothing to do with the floodgates but it can be maintained at danger from Baker Street CR. The Victoria line used FX before the...

Dstock7080 sorry I did not make myself clear I did not mean X by itself the ones that have the code for the area i.e. MBX etc would you just say that is the last automatic or give another explanation sorry for the confusion. Unless they have been renumbered I can think of 2 more that are just...

Dstock7080 yes although those other ones you mention are specific and there have been many more TRX, PNX being just two so you could easily explain them but the normal one I use the term lightly like you say was to stop the driver applying the rule and locking up the signals but some areas did...

Can anyone give a description of a normal well so called normal 'X' signal the one referred to as the last automatic signal before a controlled area which it is not always the case.

Thanks for that clears up the confusion I suppose a concrete cap will be the only way they can by the issue.

I thought they could not just extend the sidings because of the Chiltern tunnel and problems with weight, has this been resolved?

Thanks for that. 1611997764 I forgot about these signs and to be honest I thought they were only in the central area. Thanks BG

Would the RS1 etc only be displayed if there was a failure? I can't get back to Edgware while we are in lockdown.

I suppose that it could be never noticed any sound. Do they step back at Edgware?

At Edgware station on all platforms there is a Communications-based Train Control (CBTC) signal that on occasion illuminates with acronym of a station when the train is ready to depart what is the purpose of this new signal if everything is controlled on board the train and is it always in...

I thought that Amersham was a push bitton desk which controlled the V frames at Amersham and Chalfont or have these been replaced.
