So has a District Line train gone to South Harrow
or Rayners Lane in recent times?


There was the time that a Piccadilly Line driver leaving Uxbridge accepted
the wrong signal at Rayners and ended up in Harrow-On-The-Hill, whereupon
the driver of the adjacent Metropolitan Line train got out, walked across
the platform and handed him a tube map.


A story is told that a Picc. driver, on being given the wrong stick and
accepting it arrived at West Harrow and asked for a Pilotman.

The Pilotman duly arrived and handed the Picc driver a Tube Map and
walked off. I don't know how much truth there is to this, but it's a
good story!
