Time between leaving train and signing off.

Generally nil (typically duties book off on the platform, although
some do have up to 7 minutes at the end).


According to District Dave's website
(http://www.trainweb.org/districtdave...318_duty.html), there's one
duty on the District Line with an hour and six minutes between leaving
the train at Barking EB and booking off at Earl's Court.
(Incidentally, this website's well worth a look at - the story about
him ending up at South Harrow is HILARIOUS!!!)


This is a "route learning guide" for errant District Lne drivers when
approaching Hanger Lane Junction.

Nice one, Picc Pilot!!! Though quite frankly, I'd like to see the big
trains get ALL the western branches back (although this would probably
entail rebuilding the junctions at both ends of Earl's Court to
actually create some capacity (the Eastbound is particularly
****poor))!
