So my contact at TfL sent me jpg's of the new Pocket and poster maps. How do I post an image on this thread?

I usually upload it to Flickr and then post it here. Although I'm sure someone will have a more elegant solution

Have a few minutes reading this blurb from another part of the forum. phoenixcronin has just about got it sussed. Elegant or not, this is the way to do it!  Link: Tutorial - Inserting Images |

I tried it and it didn't work so I just uploaded them to my flickr page. I also uploaded the Night Tube maps that were produced if the service were to have started running back in Sept 2015, which are now prototypes I guess. Link below: www.flickr.com/photos/94509615@N03/ |

Will we see the return of the neon tube map on Friday?
Where would be a good spot for it?

Hm. I hope that's a TfL approved use of the roundel.

I've just returned from my first night tube experience, Canary Wharf to Westminster and back. I got to Canary Wharf about 02:15 and was one of three people waiting for the on-time, clean westbound train. An eastbound train arrived as I was waiting and about 1-2 dozen people got off.
Travelling westbound there was a light load, 2-3 people per carriage on average gradually picking up from London Bridge onwards as you'd expect in the late evening normally. A visibly upset young woman got on at London Bridge accompanied by two police officers but whether her trouble was night tube related I don't know, the officers were relaxed though so it didn't seem anything to worry about.
At Westminster I was the only person to alight from the train, there were far more staff and cleaners about than passengers - obviously not a bustling Friday night destination. Getting back down to the westbound platform at about 02:40 there were about 1-2 people waiting to board each carriage. A, presumably manual, announcement was being made about the Jubilee running a night tube service but there being no SSR trains, but this was cut off partway though. After a long couple of moments silence there was a call for a cleaner to make their way to control room - did the person on duty perhaps just spill their coffee? The silence was certainly of the right duration for an "Oh s..." moment!
When train arrived about 3 minutes after I got to the platform it was also clean and on time and the driver clearly spoken. It was busier than westbound with people on most blocks of seating, but plenty free - about what I'd expect from a late night train during the week. A good 2-3 dozen people got off at Canary Wharf, again what I'd expect from a train in the late evening normally.

The first Jubilee night tube out of Stratford on Friday night had this laminated paper "plaque" on the front.  |

I've heard they pick the driver out of a hat to have the honour of going first!
Fingers crossed I get the Northen one!

Must be a big hat, some of the Northern line drivers are rather large.

There were some of the new pocket Night Tube maps that include the Jubilee line at High Street Kensington station this afternoon.

It is perilously close to Christmas though which I find a real surprise. It'll work one weekend and then the following one it'll only apply on 23 Dec as I assume Tubes all finish around midnight on Sat 24th Dec. I guess the Mayor may well announce the Picc starting when he's out smiling about the Northern Line night service starting. |

It won't be a full service as we haven't got a sufficient amount of qualified T/Ops yet.

When I'm next in (Friday) I will look on the Intranet to see if the new WTT is on there along with the duty books. I will also see how many are still undergoing training. It may be that there will just be not many spares about. I don't suppose the business will allow annual leave now until we have sufficient numbers. |
