Work on the London Underground by Metronet Rail.

They look a bit big for tube tunnels, are they only going to be seen on
the subsurface lines?

Yes. They will be used on the SSL and the western branches of the
Central, Piccadilly and Jubilee Lines.

I didn't think Metromess looked after the Pic, Central, & Jub, I think
thats TubeCrimes?

Metronet = BCV
Tube Lines = JNP

Possibly Metronet is responsible for the Jubilee track north of
Finchley Road and the Piccadilly track west of Earl's Court, though.

Tube Lines are responsible for all tracks Finchley Road to Wembley Park.
Metronet take over the Met tracks just to the north / west of Wembley
Park.

Metronet are responsible for all tracks Acton Town to Barons Court. They
are also responsible for shared parts of the District / Picc Acton Town
to Hanger Lane Junction. Piccadilly trains obviously also run over SSL
tracks again from Rayners Lane to Uxbridge.

Admits to working for London Underground!

Last night at about 5 pm a long string of Metronet 66's were on the
freight line going under the West Coast Mainline at Stonebridge Park.
There was no sign of them this morning.
