I believe some of the longest delays may be removed by recent
changes to the LUL Rule book.

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.

Hmm. According to the track diagram in that report you can't get from
Earl's Court platform 1 to Gloucester Road!
