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.


There used to be three, Arnos Grove, Oakwood and Wood Green. They put them
all at AG 'cause it's more efficient - they said. At the west end of the
Picc there used to be Acton, South Harrow and Northfields. All now at AT.
