I see from an internal LU publication that the 09 Stock now has a M-F
train path between Seven Sisters and Brixton and that the first

date but if it did it didn't conk out and affect the public train
service as there was no report of a disruption to the service.


On a similar note, I saw the 67TS "test train" at Finsbury Park
(Southbound) one day last week. It was sat in the platform for ages, and
even with the saloon lights off, doors being closed, it being full of
equipment, and vinyls on the doors and windows saying it was a test
train...people *still* tried to board it!


I'm guessing the weekend closures at the moment are for more testing,
rather than upgrade work: this morning, I spotted a regular 67TS train
pull into Finsbury Park and sit there for a while. (The platform was
cordoned off, so no chance of anyone trying to board it this time)
Has the track and signalling work finished for now?
