Packed lunch? Yes, I know they said "pack".

and bear in mind the limited comfort breaks so might like to use the
loos at Liverpool St before going to Moorgate.

I'm struggling with the idea that 300 bashers with crossed legs can
be accommodated at Barking in the time available. I wonder if there
are any alternative facilities nearby?

Should be possible within the hour's stop, unless the facilities are very
limited. I assume it will be somewhat gender unbalanced.

It's one every 12 seconds...

Agreed.

It looks
as if all those routes will be covered plus West Ham siding (why
twice?).

And why four passes over the northern Circle, and only one the
southern? To even it up, the first leg should really have gone via
Tower Hill clockwise to Wimbledon, even that was never an official
end-to-end route (but neither is Wimbledon to Barking via Kings
Cross).

That isn't possible assuming the train is leaving from the bay
platforms at Moorgate.

I'm struggling with the idea that anyone would pay good money to ride on
that junk. I can only imagine none of you had to suffer the bloody things on
a daily commute.

I'd might however pay to see them shoved off a barge into the atlantic like
new york did with their old trains.

Only if everyone goes and one at a time.

Agreed.

You've missed my point that this might mean more parallel processing.

I've travelled on them many times from new (including when they had the
Metacones and transverse seats). I think the gentleman doth protest too much.

I'd might however pay to see them shoved off a barge into the
atlantic like new york did with their old trains.

Generous to a fault as usual I see!

For a number of years on and off I travelled from KX to the City. They were
hideous trains - seats that were too small, a jerky ride and frankly they were
too short for the number of passengers trying to use them. Whoever thought
6 cars would be enough should have been sacked.

Maybe some fish might appreciate them more that I did.
