For a typical LU Driver's shift what would be the approx amount of duty time
for the following components of the days work?


I can only speak for the Piccadilly line but most of these are the
agreed parameters for the Underground...

Time between signing on and taking over train.


19 minutes (includes 7 mins walking time to Arnos Grove platform)


Which explains some of the frequent delays at Arnos Grove usually northbound
but sometimes south too as a full train waits for Mr Driver to stroll down and
take over from his colleague. Why they couldn't have made cockfosters the
booking on point is anyones guess.
