    Northfields terminators. Are there Northfields starters?

    There are scheduled Northfields reversals on most regular service patterns.

    How do drivers get to underground sidings?

    Officially exiting or entering any sidings on foot should be done with the current turned off. For instance the train that stables nightly at Victoria Sidings on the Victoria Line, the driver after shutting down the train should wait for current off before exiting. Whether he/she does or not is...

    Piccadilly line at Turnham Green

    No, it would part of an increase in service through the central section of the line, requiring more destinations for the trains.

    Piccadilly line at Turnham Green

    It has been arranged the way it is arranged for very early and very late Piccadilly trains to call at Turnham Green for many years. The dagger indicating limited stop is definitely shown on the current standard Tube map, I checked the TfL website. Long-term future plans are for the Piccadilly...

    Lu Trackwork Nightshifts

    Depends whether you are on sub-surface or actual tube lines, and whether you are in a tunnel or not.

    Countdown to next train in seconds

    The Victoria Line is scheduled by depart to arrive at each station, whereas the other lines are scheduled generally only by departure time, with the dwell time at the station built into the run time, other than when extra station hold time is required for service smoothing / timetabled driver...

    South Harrow Sidings, lack of progress

    Along with a new working timetable.

    Why do the London Underground station platform next train automated announcements rarely ever work?

    I don't think there are such announcements at most LU stations.

    Reduced service on the Metropolitan Line from Monday 11 April 2022

    That's be about normal for the Met then!

    Why no platform indicators at High Street Kensington on platforms 3 and 4?

    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...

    Remaining Northern Line Bank upgrades following major blockade

    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.

    District Line distribution

    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...

    When might night tube reopen?

    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...

    When might night tube reopen?

    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.

    When might night tube reopen?

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

    Northern Line

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

    Harlow Local Plan - proposed Central Line extension

    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.

    District and Circle Lines work 4-12 August 2021

    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...

    Why is the Circle line so slow in the evenings?

    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...
