As the District have a lower level of service, it's relatively easy to
fit a few odd Picc trains in. You're right about the District trains
though. We do tend to get held behind them when we're run that way.


Interesting stuff, thanks. It would thus seems possible for one Picc
train to overtake another between Acton and Hammersmith!

If you do stand in for the District line and stop all stations from
Acton to Hammersmith I can imagine the passenger confusion that would
follow - I guess it gives you plenty of time to practice your PA voice!

That wonderful new DVA system they have just fitted has an option to
announce all stations along the local for us.
