On the subject of pushchairs, there was a message on the whiteboard
at Highbury & Islington today saying that pushchairs are not allowed
on the Victoria Line unless folded. Is this official LU policy as I
have not seen this anywhere before?

It is in the LU conditions of carriage. Victoria and W&C are barred to
unfolded pushchairs at all times. Other lines vary by time of day.

About page 52 or so. There are some indications elsewhere on the site
that this will change once the new stock has taken over...

Well I've learnt something. I have never seen this enforced and
regularly see unfolded pushchairs on the Vic Line. I think I need to
check the signage for MIP lifts on the Vic Line - I'm sure it shows an
unfolded buggy symbol.

As you suggest it would be somewhat mad to retain the rule given the new
stock has, in theory, massive space for pushchairs.

News to me too. Not only has my granddaughter been on the Victoria Line in
a buggy a good few times since she was born 4 years ago but so did her mum
and aunt up to 20 years ago!
