Hammersmith is no longer a depot as such. It's just a stabling point.

We have to take trains from Ealing Common to Edgware Road for H&C
services now.

Back on the front now?

Have been for over a year.


Do you like the S-stock - from a driver's POV that is?


I love them. Comfortable, good driving position, cab air-com (although
it's a bit noisy) and hi-tech controls (which always goes down well with
me!)

It's almost disappointing when a D stock turns up as they are getting
dated and not much loved by the depots these days.


Someone needs to ask LU why they spent millions having the D stock fully
refurbished up until 2008 only to bin them 7 years later.
