Depends so heavily on what the redeveloped area will look like once the stations open, or the phases of the larger site each finish. For example, I'd like to see a pedestrianised road between the Hythe Road and HS2/CR stations. Also where would the Chiltern station be, I'd guess west of the shaded connection of HS2 and CR. If old oak common lane is going to be that significant it should be wider, and probably compatible with double deckers. Stop me if I'm outside the remit of this consultation.

What lobbying do you expect to see?

Can concessions cover smaller areas? If TfL took over all non-TL metro services from London Bridge, put a shared driver's set of rooms at Bermondsey, a depot at Norwood or similar. In theory would it be efficient to give each service to a different concession who all work their TfL owned trains out of the same place?

It'll be four tracked and continue on as now. There'll just not be any all-stopping trains from Dartford inwards on the mainline. Maybe some more semi fasts on the loop.

I went to Liverpool Street platform at noon. Fantastic people with a lot to say. The only final thing in place is the pinstripe ceiling you've seen in every mockup.

Can you take, or link to, a photo of what you saw at Stratford?

Are they all LU+LO stations, a fifth could be Stratford?

How about a set of cross-overs just west of Baker Street to make it a terminus from Hammersmith? It won't work - this section in on a serious gradient. Are there maps showing gradients of the lines?

It will probably be easier to imagine a ticket-less future after the upcoming change where the headline is about fixing split ticketing. There'll be an official name for that project.
In the Crossrail Heathrow thread there's talk of differentiating ticket by platform. Does that suggest that a ticketless future needs a lot more individually gated barriers, or at least a metro section?

They started a new contract term shortly before the Night Tube planning started, TfL are waiting for that contract term to end rather than end it early.

The not-station on the not-extension of the Met? The one by the hospital.

Where in their final route do you expect them to reach 90mph, forgetting line speeds?

I read somewhere, probably here, that they can't tunnel under an active runway. Was the north runway closed while they made the main line tunnel?

Best practises of the day. T5 also has only opened half the station. i haven't been, so I'm not sure if Carto Metro is showing all of it or just the opened part.

What is the rejigged service pattern? I think it's in Appendix two but what of?

I got the impression that the Abbey Wood/Heathrow - Paddington sections would be called Elizabeth line and have the new trains from the start even though they are going to different parts of Paddington. Hopefully there'll be a connector blob between the two ends on the map rather than a continuous line, until the low level station is used from the west.

It's more "this spot has the most phones within 5m during their use of the station" and less "pseudoscientific parapsychology used to imprison currently innocent people". Other than that yes.
I'd like to see more of the results, especially the path maps.

On their twitter there's two different sets of stations being skipped for overrunning engineering works. Maybe Maryland is the last to reopen. twitter.com/TfLRail

Brigham could you be more clear? I see a leading question into areas not normally discussed here. On topic it leads to more trains, some of those guards can be promoted to drivers (which I think is their reason to be a guard), others to platform guards like the Overground and various mainline franchises do.

Maybe it doesn't count as the vision for the future because the project is underway? Same could be said for the NLE but could be they have different standards for something in zones 1 and 9.

The W&C is being used as a test for what seems to be a more than normal upgrade in train.
As you've seen above there's various somewhat random reasons why age isn't the sole factor, and by the time the W&C proves Ntfl is good we'll have a far better idea of which line has trains nearing their end.

In the entire process will there be anything visible that isn't station works? I see that the access holes are in Kennington, will the TBMs arriving be an interesting sight?

Wasn't the Jubilee run in two sections for a few months in 1999? Possibly the DLR too, around the time the Becktpn branch opened. Sections of the Jubilee Line Extension were progressively opened from the east end but they did have the advantage of a very large depot at Stratford where the trains could be delivered. Another difficult point is that most Piccadilly Line platforms are getting platform edge doors. These can't be installed until all 1973 stock has gone. Were the trains delivered by road to Stratford?
