I assume the idea of (and issues associated with) an orbital 'overground' service, both clockwise and anticlockwise, have been pontificated here many times before?

I'd best make the oft quoted suggestion of sending the w&c line class 482 trains to the central line then.

Yes. It really is shocking how some of the vegetables bite the hand that feeds them.

So does anyone know what will become of the current Cassiobury terminus?

Kinda upsetting that the Museum didn't take a 4 car set of either 67 stock or A stock. Do either of the sets that LU retained for Sandite purposes have future preservation potential? Finally, are there still some 83 stock cars in one of the sidings out west?

A Redbridge Transport Volvo Olympian appeared onto route A yesterday, and an Ensign one on route B :)

Thought people would rush to reply to this :(

I would agree with you here

I now understand, I think. Those portals (between Drayton park and Finsbury Park used to send the northern city line into its tube level platforms at FPK, which are today's platforms 3 and 4 (southbound pic and vic). Similarly, those between Drayton and highbury and highbury and Essex road...

I can't find an easy answer to this online, but maybe someone can. Is there a list available of surviving underground stock of types that no longer run in normal service? Thanks

I'm trying to visualise here. Can you advise where they are? Somewhere at home I have detailed plans of this area, but don't recall such tunnels

Surely there is another option (albeit unpopular): Close lighter used or close together tube stations? One of Wood Green or Turnpike Lane could go quite happily, allowing a Pic extension to Potters Bar. Etc etc

I have never been a LU RRS where you touch in on the bus. You just get on. You won't be able to validate at a station for RRS "A" because the main stop in Walthamstow is on Hoe St not at the station. Indeed. Wayfarers taped over. But the first stop for Bus A _is_ outside Walthamstow Cent...

What will the ticketing arrangements be for RRB A and B? When I've been on weekend closures, it's either been touch in at the station and come back, or (more usually) noone bothered. Would be interesting to know whether one can touch in on the bus or not. I guess a ticket (or sufficient...

Peter is indeed correct - I assume the original remains for maintenance

What about putting a class 37 in the middle of the 6 car set and wiring in blue star multiple working?

Erm, you haven't done your research yet, so don't know this.....

Arguably this line could maintain a regular Sunday service. If the frequency was every 15 mins, would 2 trains be sufficient?

Wasn't there a proposal for this to become light green, a bit ago? Understand that light green is to become Battersea-Kennington-Charing Cross-High Barnet. Probably not in my lifetime though. (charing cross-high Barnet and city-edgware was the split proposed 5 years ago, wasn't it - or...

Wonder whether Paula is a budding model?
