As a driver I wouldn't know how to go about doing that - and don't want to ruffle feathers to be honest. I just keep an eye out for people in the vicinity of certain stations who look lost as I know only too well that without intense redirection provisions, some people do struggle to find the correct stop Looking forward to returning to Hampton Court on Sunday - will do my best to get out of Clapham Junction on time!

A bit out of area, but owing to 'Large Sheppey based operator' getting their knuckles rapped with a 7 day suspension of O-Licence, Brighton & Hove are out on Ebbsfleet - Meopham and also Gillingham - Dartford today. Would that be this one who made the news tonight on rail replacement at Lingfield....? I feel for them with the unfortunate incidents - they have a good reputation and wish them all the best with getting on track.

Is that SWR job with Abellio? 15 SWR bus departures from Clapham is always fun. LO have 2 buses an hour as well on Sunday.

Good reputation and getting your license suspended for 7 days sound like polar opposites

Good reputation and getting your license suspended for 7 days sound like polar opposites This video, allegedly also taken Monday and on the same route, is also not a great look! But like their fatal coach crash a few years ago, these specific things are all potentially more down to drivers than a fault with the company itself. For example in this video I do wonder if someone was refusing to move from the platform, although still not a defence for physical contact, we don’t see the full event.

Both the Metropolitan & Piccadilly Line replacements were absolutely wrecked yesterday by 4 way temporary lights near South Harrow. Most of Harrow was at a standstill and pretty much every route which passed through Northolt Road suffered badly.

There is a rumour that there will be a semi fast Met Line RRP between Baker Street and Wembley Park, if it is true, does anyone know where it will be stopping en-route at and who will operate it?

Before Baker Street was Two-way they used to start at the entrance next to the lost property office but can't think what they will start from this time around.

I imagine it would use the A406 & A41 to get between Wembley Park and Baker Street, so could potentially stop at Finchley Road. Doubt it would stop anywhere else if its just replacing the Met Line, unless it's a station on another train route for connections into Central London (e.g. Bakerloo line, Northern line or Thameslink).

Just seen a Ensign E200 MMC leaving Purfleet blinded for DLR rail replacement. Is there a emergency job?
