Brimstone, Steve, Mike

Thanks for the replies and information. Yes, I understand that a train
number is more like a service number and that a six car set can even
change its number during the day due to cancellations.

Does the working timetable say whether 311 is booked westbound through
King's Cross around 0830?

It says: 0641 to Uxbridge and 1015 to Heathrow, but as I said earlier
331 was booked through at that time.

It takes 80 minutes minimum to get to Uxbridge from Cockfosters,
another 45 minutes minimum to get back to King's Cross. At around 0850
- 0900 it is scheduled to be heading eastbound through King's Cross?

Book says 0908 but because of the aforementioned shenanigans further
east I would suspect very, very late at that point as the smell of
burning was on the eastbound.

Steve, thanks very much for your trouble.

I have just has a thought. The "Blue Watch" article starts off:

"Sunday October 9, 2005
The Observer

He was firefighter Aaron Roche, the first person to enter carriage 346A
of the 8.51am Piccadilly Line service from King's Cross after the 7
July bombs went off.
It was the 48th such service to leave London's busiest tube station
that morning, each carriage crammed with commuters, many reading the
newspaper coverage of London's Olympic triumph the previous day.
It had just turned 10am when Roche began striding along the dark tunnel
towards the stranded train."

Is it possible to find out the number of the 48th westbound service
through King's Cross?

Including the 5 booked engineers trains, 316 at 0754 - that is one well
late train, the 48th passenger only would be 324 at 0806 1/2.

The actual bombed train was the 62nd train of the day including
engineers or 57th without (see, I knew that would be your next question
;-))
