I believe some of the longest delays may be removed by recent

Such as?

I believe there is a new idea about Wrong Direction Movement; the new
concept is in all cases tp carry on to the next station.
No change there yet, except that it now needs to be authorised by the
Service Manager, and that the rear tripcock does not need to be cut
out. Any points will still need to be secured and an Operating
Official (as the person in charge) is still requied, to walk from the
station in the rear, after ensuring that adequate protection and
handsignalmen have been appointed.

Are the changed rules about wrong direction movement anything to do with
report RAIB issued into the incident at High St Ken on 29 Apr 2006. Seems
as though many involved were pretty clueless about the old procedures.

More or less.... YES!

Also Station Supervisors MUST now be familiarised in the areas that
they are qualified to work (also following an incident with Traction
Current, a one-under and the London Ambulance Service). I don't know
how far LUL have got so far in starting this.

Eventually they want this new Connect Radio to replace a lot of work
done by Secure Telephones and Station Supervisors..... but the system
is not very good and potentially a deathtrap for mis-communication.

Regarding the incident at High Street Kensington. Communication and
geographically knowledge were key factors in my opinion. Also a Duty
Manager went by road to High Street, when they should have walked
along the track, after affording adequate protection.
