Hmm:

OK, here's a brilliant one, at what area of Ealing Common depot (you must name the word that T/Ops refer to it as) is the Museum headshunt?

Describe the hand signal you should make to the driver of a LU train if you want him/her to stop the train immediately.

Whilst not wishing to give any answers ( :D ), there are actually several danger signals which would cause a driver to stop the train, so should be reasonably guessable!

I was taught on Monday that there is a specific one for getting the driver to stop immediately.

That is the official way to stop a train and is taught by everybody who will be lineside that that is how you stop a train in an emergency.

It is set down by the HSE that you need a Hand Signal for stop at the bare minimum to operate a railway if there is a situation that arises where a train needs to be stopped.

I can guarantee, if you wear a Hi-Vis vest, and you go to the end of a Platform with a train approaching that is due to go non-stop through, and you do that Hand Signal, it will stop as fast as it can.

Oh and if you do that you'll be arrested ;)

tubechallenger has just given me the correct answer on MSN, which is:

You wave your arms across your body.

His question is this:

"At King's Cross St Pancras on the Northern Line, what is the signal that controls entry to the Piccadilly Line?"

Yay! My thanks to "tubeprune" for that one.


Nice simple question now, the Nightstar stock, originally intended for use on European sleepers...

Firstly: where did they spend most of their time in store whilst in Britain?
Finally: Where are they now, with who and trading as what?

Cheers

Dave

As in J8, I thought you meant it was in that style, but no, it is not J8!

J8 controls entry onto the King's Cross loop, not the Piccadilly Line itself. The answer is L22
