    Southbound fast metropolitan line train in PM peak?

    Yes, indeed! And the Aldgate section can become very congested at peak times, causing a (huge) knock on effect to other lines. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

    Southbound fast metropolitan line train in PM peak?

    Thank you for this, I understand so much better now, but the funny thing was that we didn't overtake any Met train, so I guess it was to make the gap between trains smaller! Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

    Southbound fast metropolitan line train in PM peak?

    Oh ok, interesting! Could this maybe have been to compensate for the Piccadilly line's delays for people traveling into the city? Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

    Southbound fast metropolitan line train in PM peak?

    Just made this thread to discuss if this has ever happened to anyone else! I was on a London-bound metropolitan line service from Uxbridge and just before Harrow-on-the-Hill, driver announced that our service is now a fast, not stopping at Wembley Park! I thought this was very rare as usually...

    https://youtu.be/y0Mll3FyY8I Wow, what can I say! I was finally able to take a ride on one of these stunning Class 345 trains from Liverpool Street to Shenfield and back, which I have been raring to get on for ages! The interior of the train is absolutely amazing, and I love the moquette and...

    https://youtu.be/2IMHX_J6fzo Here is a video demonstrating a short journey on one of Sullivan Buses' brand new 17 reg E400Ds, this one being RS17 SUL. Now, the amazing thing about these number plates is the fact that each number plate's first two letters are initials of people working for...

    https://youtu.be/J0biKlzRKfE This particular Euro 6 E200D is restricted not to 40mph, but to 65! This bus has better and stronger revving than the other buses in its batch, and so it's a pleasure to ride it on speedy and thrashy routes like the A10 and 331. Enjoy the ride! High revs at 3:23...

    The acceleration of the Class 345 is like no other train, well, maybe the Class 700 is a close contender... Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk

    Class 345 progress

    I would have hoped for Celia Drummond to voice the announcements, but Emma's new announcements seem just as good. Excuse me for drifting off topic but is it true that the SWT Class 707s will not have Celia as the DVA? [emoji53] Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk

    I think so, but if not, perhaps it's one of those lights that flash when the door closing alarm sounds. Sent from my SM-J500FN using Tapatalk
