On the floor of the a Central Line service from Ealing Broadway this
afternoon, there was a copy of the weekly Traffic Updates (IIRC) with a
rather stern warning that its contents must not be disclosed to non-LUL
staff on the front cover.

I resisted the temptation to pick it up and have a read. What kind of
information might I have found in it, should I have bothered?

It's a list of changes to normal services, traction current disharge times
and other such minutia necessary to some of the people working the railway.

Totally boring most of the time.

No, but I see two or three a year on average, I would estimate.

You mean you left it there, waiting for a muslim fundamentalist to
chance upon it and use the information for....er.....whatever he would
use it for :-)

Nah. You picked it up and took it home. What WAS in it?

It doesn't prove they've been read though.
