Trials of groundwater colling are being carried out at Victoria.


Note to myself: rent next flat within walking distance from Met/

Note to myself: rent basement flat within spitting distance of Victoria.


I wonder why Metronet and Tubelines can't club together and have a
joint test track instead of two seperate ones at double the cost.


I would imagine that by the time Tubelines are introducing new stock they
will be able to use the test track too. The vastly greater number of SSL
trains being provided by Metronet makes it sensible for them to be running
the place. Aren't the Victoria and Bakerloo (both Metronet), due their
replacement stock before any of Tubelines?
