The Elizabeth Line already has diagrammed driver changeovers at Maidenhead, Paddington Low Level and Gidea Park

No. Also, drivers are not allowed out in Westbourne Park without being escorted.

The OHLE was switched off from Pad to Maidenhead neutral section.

The BBC is reporting that the Elizabeth Line now has the highest % of cancelled trains. As many of the problems are not their making how can they get back to of the most reliable railways? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66754481

It's not the driver stopping it. The PIS stops itself and pauses before announcing the next station.

There seems to be a train fail at Paddington every day at the moment after completing an AR move. With 100+ moves a day they need to make it significantly more reliable.

There is also EE WiFi in core stations as well.

I think an equally significant question to ask would be: Is there capacity to stable the trains? As OOC, Shenfield, Gidea and Maidenhead are only built for 9 cars.

It also states 1 in 6 national rail journeys in the UK are on the Elizabeth Line, which I think is pretty phenomenal. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/passengers-elizabeth-line-soar-41-per-cent-tfl-overcrowding-b1067730.html The £20bn line, which opened through central London last...

They have 2 plans for each day, in case the strikes are cancelled so can revert to normal running.

RMT have cancelled the strikes so should be normal running now.

After today the next closure in the Abbey Wood to Paddington section is Christmas day. https://tfl.gov.uk/status-updates/planned-track-closures

Max line speed through platforms is 42mph. The train drives to arrive at the right time, so it only goes as fast as it needs to in order to pass Bond Street at the booked time, then speeds up to arrive at Paddington or Tottenham Court Road at the right time. When Bond Street opens it will speed...

Yes, all the core stations were designed to allow the trains to be extended to 11 car in the future. There are plain glass panels at one end or the other.

Thanks. I posted it all as this was the first time I've seen that 4 services will come from the east and start advertised services at Whitechapel.

From Monday 5 September test trains that operate in the COS in the early morning will become advertised trains. The first trains (now advertised) Westbound will be the 0534 from Abbey Wood to Paddington and Eastbound, the 0544 Paddington to Abbey Wood. Four services will run empty from the East...

They currently cover the semi fast reading services into the shorter platform 14. Once everything else goes to to the low level it will free up platforms for them to become full length units.

It probably helps test everything, such as all the platform PIS screens. It's all interlinked they might not be able to run it them without being 'in passenger service'
