Does anyone have a list of which destinations the 73 stock can display? I've been digging on here, other websites and other forums but no result Thanks everyone  |

You can set any station as the start point or the destination.

Did there used to be Bounds Green terminators years ago?

Used to be regular Wood Green reversers off peak and evenings.

I thought it was an Acton Town-Wood Green shuttle.

Probably extended to Acton Town in later years. There used to be a large signal box suspended over the Piccadilly line ramp from the tunnels to block light, and Barons Court platforms are well protected from the sunlight by near full-length canopies, probably with painted glass remaining from blackout days. It was hard for shuttle crews to get sufficient vitamin D on those duties!

Had the same thing on the Central,White City-Liverpool St-Marble Arch-Liverpool St-White City shuttle between the peaks and White City-Leytonstone shuttle after evening peak.

Was a Wood Green - Barons Court shuttle which hardly saw the daylight! And it was worse if you were running late they would reverse you from the westbound platform back east over the crossover. Kennington-Golders Green was a rough one on the Northern and we had a turn which picked up on the north at Euston CX then Golders Green/Kennington/Archway/Morden! |

The Elephant - Queen's Park shuttle was a killer, with blackout paint on the overall glass roof at the platform, and a shed over the reversing sidings! But then again on Sundays we could do 4+4 old Circles, only 4+3 on other days. But with accumulated delays you could often miss out on one of them due to service reformation.

Did there used to be Bounds Green terminators years ago? No, trains never terminated at Bounds Green. Used to be regular Wood Green reversers ioff peak and evenings. Trains took too long to reverse at Wood Green, so they were taken out of the timetable when the service level was increased in the early 90's. Was a Wood Green - Barons Court shuttle which hardly saw the daylight! The thought of doing Barons Court - Wood Green shuttles still make me shudder, horrible turns. |

The Wood Green siding sand drag has just been removed, before an arrestor for 2024TS is installed. That was the crew toilet in my day, if no relief crew was available, as instructed by the Inspector. I believe a chemical facility was provided in more recent times!

townvoyager I am slightly confused here. PiccNT said you could set any station as the starting point/end point, or are you referring to reversing points?

I think when T2&3 is set as a destination it announced on the DVA "This is a Piccadilly service to Heathrow Terminals 2&3 via Terminal 4" as opposed to "... Heathrow Terminal 4 and Terminals 2&3" which is the standard format based on a Cockfosters - Cockfosters programming? I remember this being mentioned on DD a while back. I thought it was as early as the late '70s. Any case, even when they do impromptu turn backs at Wood Green these days, it does take a while. The Wood Green siding sand drag has just been removed, before an arrestor for 2024TS is installed. That was the crew toilet in my day, if no relief crew was available, as instructed by the Inspector. I believe a chemical facility was provided in more recent times! You're saying the sand drag was used as a toilet? I know is an actual staff toilet at Wood Garden station via a cross passage linking both platforms. This is for Physical Needs Relief. I've seen drivers on the westbound at least leave the train for PNR on occasion. What does an "arrestor" do? |
