My last three jobs have all had a clause in the contract stating "Your
normal place of work is X. However, the employer is based on sites X,
Y and Z and your normal place of work may be reallocated to sites Y or
Z", so I don't have much sympathy for that argument.


That's OK as long as that clause was there when you started. The issue
at stake here is the employer *adding* a clause like that later.


Indeed, though the fact that my last three jobs have had it made me
think (perhaps erroneously, I admit!) that it wasn't unusual.

I was having a moment of curiosity last night about the train lengths,
and vaguely recalled (and seemed to find mentions of) platform
lengthening as part of the upgrade...but no details. Don't suppose
anyone knows any?


IIRC there was talk of Notting Hill Gate, Bayswater, Edgware Road, and
Baker Street (Circle) being lengthed from 6 to 7 cars, to allow 7-car
trains on the entire Circle. But did someone suggest it had been
canned?
