I'll be out of London by the time this happens so would appreciate a few posts to outline the start of the C Stock demise!  |

Bah! I won't be able to get it on the first day. I have school.
Same question as above really, will it operate on Saturday 8th?

I noted an S Stock test train on the eastbound circle at Baker St on Weds morning about 10.30. Didn't get the number as I was in a rush.

A Train Operator at each end I guess, with limited reversing space at Hammersmith (all three platforms normally needed). With this being an extra service, in addition to the normal 5-minute service to/from Hammersmith, I would also guess that there won't be hoards of people on each departure (apart from you and me ;D ;D), as the previous one would be only 2-3 minutes in front.

Will S7 be on be operated on Saturday 8th July 2012? Same question as above really, will it operate on Saturday 8th? I don't know the answer to the question, but it should be noted that information such as that posted above for weekdays can only be taken as a guide at best. Being training paths they'll only operate if required, so they're not guaranteed to run even if the timetable for Saturdays exists - it all depends on the training needs on the day. How the can the train arrive into Hammersmith at 10:27 then depart a minute later..? Again I don't know the answer - it may well be one of those posted above - but the S7 training runs are out of service aren't they? If so, physically fit drivers aside, being empty will no doubt help with the quick turnarounds.... |

Not sure. I'm going to Cardiff next weekend so I'll probably end up on one when I come back from Paddington knowing my luck! ;D

Will S7 be on be operated on Saturday 8th July 2012? Not unless you're using the Julian calendar!  |

Not sure. I'm going to Cardiff next weekend so I'll probably end up on one when I come back from Paddington knowing my luck! ;D If any of us board the train on day 1, should we all agree to sit in a particular place / identify ourselves in a particular way? For example, the gangway to the east of the Hammersmith-most car, and the adjacent seats? If someone sees a lot of weirdos in such a position, taking photos and pointing out the compressor noise, they'll know to say hi? |
