Noticed since the June timetable change the train stopping position at Central Section Stations no longer meets with(or near) the centre of the platform edge doors. It is more off to the left when I have seen them heading Eastbound. Peak also don’t seem to dawdle as much now I still find they dawdle a lot, when you compare it to a Victoria or Central line train. The only way it does not wait in the central section long is if they are late and other trains are stacking up behind. Although still impressed by how close they can be to each other with one train exiting then the next one coming into the station. It has to be seen to be believed. Not even the Victoria line is that close after stacking up. On the outside sections they are slow even if late when not in CBTC zone. Trains can barely make up time and door operation etc is slow.

I seem to recall a recent weekend closure of the Central Core which is usually for this reason. I believe the timetable change and weekend closure occurred concurrently 2nd June

I’m guessing he means this keeps Bombardier in Derby open for at least a bit longer to build 345071-345080.

Small updates to Class 345 announcements I heard on the train I caught this morning
“Next station…” is now “We are now arriving at…” “Next station…” is now “The next station is” “This is an Elizabeth Line service to…” appears to now be one recording rather spliced together version we had before
I didn’t actually use the line yesterday but certain these announcements were not playing on Monday

This seems to be the same at other interchanges too where they are now announcing the "line" suffix too.

I was trapped on a GWR train outside Plymouth some years ago for nearly three hours with no information, aircon or water, and it was horrendous.
