It is a diesel train operating through the station in connection with the possession on the East London Line.

There is actually currently a trial in place which commenced the other week at a station at which the resistance on the motors was turned up.

R.M.T have historically balloted all of their members on L.U.L contracts even those within service control. The 2014 strikes into Fit For The Future which are the ones what I referred to for the service pattern in my post above included all grades represented by R.M.T. This time round the...

Historically- even with a full {not just stations} R.M.T walkout you could run a largely comprehensive service. Even as recently as 2014, on an RMT strike day you could expect to see the Bakerloo running Queens Pk to Elephant - the Central running west of White City and East of Leytonstone -...

Most of the grades and locations concerned already work 12 hour shifts without a meal relief as part of either their normal rosters, or as per custom and practice. 1689675690 As I said above, there is only enough contingency staff to operate a service for a single shift. It has therefore been...

Of the grades on strike - Track Access Controllers would only affect engineering hours rather than passenger service - Power Control has contingency staff made up from senior managers but only enough for a single shift - Emergency Response Unit always gets covered by their management team -...

Normal service all day, ramping down early evening with all trains in depots for 8pm.

Not on the Jubilee line. You may be thinking of the Elizabeth line where some of the screens have push bar to open, but on the Jubilee line they are fixed glass panels. Jubilee line extension platforms have a kit for the use of appropriately trained station staff which contains equipment for...

It’s an issue with 32B points at Earl’s Court. These allow trains to cross from platform 4 to West Kensington and Olympia. As the route from High Street Kensington only brings you out into platform 4 it isn’t possible to run the service as carrying out a reversal move at Earls Court would be too...

Firstly these roles are employed by London Underground and not TfL. There are a number of issues at play. As Bramling pointed out-resourcing issues for posts at this location are a specific challenge and there is a case of semi-unofficial industrial action. Its also quite unique, in that very...

Never have worn one when at work (on my company property).

Agreed with Bramling. Worth mentioning also that because of this a S.P.A.D is not treated as harshly on L.U as it is on the main - line, because the consequences are not as great. This is not to say they are accepted, but the whole management of the process is carried out to a lesser extent (no...

S.P.A.D Risk Ranking only applies on Network Rail controlled infrastructure. As this is London Underground track this is not applicable.

I don’t know, just that their trains after resetting do not have S.C.A.T, so accordingly immediately after resetting, it is possible to wind up and resume full speed. A- the crossover is pretty much off the end of the platform, although is over a kilometre from the signal the train should have...

The Chiltern train did not take a wrong signal, the signal was passed at danger. As I understand it, the train was tripped correctly and all signaling equipment was working correctly. There was a Metropolitan train in the N.B platform with a clear signal with the arbour lights indicating a...

To further what Star Mill said; You need to remember a few things here: - - National Rail T.O.C’s and Network Rail have effectively had their expenditure guaranteed and underwritten by the government. TfL has had no such source of funding. Accordingly, there are many staff at the T.O.C’s who...

I don’t think it’s anything to do with not knowing, more the fact he operated the switch in error, as for the fault symptoms present he should not have not operated that switch.

I agree with bramling summary. That isn’t what happened according to L.U.L’s own internal report. What they state is that the level of TMS faults effectively cause the train to think that the Passenger/Operator selector rotary(1) to think that it is set to “Passenger” and open the doors when the...

Sorry but Ive never heard of that.

What’s the point? If you approach any barrier line without a ticket and ask staff to be let out then you will be let out. In the worst case they will accompany you to a ticket machine to pay the Oyster/ C.P.C fare in cash or by card. There’s also so many people doubling out or forcing open the...
