Why are Tubelines out in Metronet country?


Most likely an postman or an ERU delivery.


Tube Lines operate these and refuse collections for the whole network.


Too difficult to accept collections for the whole network?


*groan*

Just in case anyone isn't up there with the jargon, ERU is "emergency
response unit" - i.e. the chaps who deal with persons-under-trains,
derailments, etc.

But spend more time delivering parts (such as during signal and track
failures), putting in Temporary Speed Restriction boards, attending
flooding with their pumps and the like.
