I overheard someone the other evening talking about a planned new tube
extension running from one of the Ruislip stations in a loop down to
Hayes.
Sorry if I've missed any earlier discussion on this (my server has
dropped its Usenet facility which means I'm reaching this group by an
unfamiliar route). Does anyone have more info about this?

Can't see anything like this at http://www.alwaystouchout.com OR at
John Rowland's site so as far as I'm concerned that means it doesn't
exist Not thinking of the proposed tram stuff around that neck of
the woods, are you?

Who is "someone"? Where did you hear this?

Actually, about 5 years ago Hillingdon Council were talking about extending
the Piccadilly Line from Uxbridge (sic) to Heathrow. AFAIK it never made it
into any published documents. I don't know what route was considered, but
running via Hayes couldn't make the scheme any more implausible than it
already was.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Is it so implausible? I don't know about Hayes, but couldn't they just run
a loop round Ealing Common depot?

They were talking about a direct-ish new build route from Uxbridge to
Heathrow.

Gosh, sounds like I'm being interrogated!

"Someone" was a woman whom I don't know, and would not recognise again,
talking to a bus driver (surely in breach of travelling regulations),
the conversation took place on a bus.

Aah! No, not the thumbscrew!

It was late at night, somewhere in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
I didn't realise the information was "classified".
She did say she had heard the information from her Mum.
Honest.
No, I don't know her Mum's name either.
Hope this does not mean all middle-aged female staff being brought in
and interrogated. I didn't mean to start anything...
