From the new DLR platforms at Stratford I can see a new building being

constructed by Tube Lines (it has Tube Lines banner on it) right next
to the Jubilee line platforms. What is it going to be? A new
administrative build for Tube Lines? Or something useful?


I think it is new Train Crew Accommodation. Extra accommodation is
provided as part of line upgrades as LU will need extra train drivers to
operate the more frequent services. Tube Lines are required to do the
work as part of the upgrade obligations.

Admits to working for London Underground!


And when are they bringing the more frequent service in, must be at
the very least 3 years away. Why don't Tubelines pull their finger out
and get on with the Northern Line enabling. If they were Metronet it
would be front page news.
