It's what they Wanstead.

Well that's the Mile End of the conversation.

That's not the Queensway of speaking.

What about St Pauls?

It doesn't.

But the cost of that operational flexiblity is increased disruption
(points fail more often than plain track) and increased cost (points
need more maintenance then plain track).

If they're clipped out of use most of the time they can't fail short of a
rail breaking.

Moreover, when they are needed, the returns in goodwill and
convenience to passengers is enormous. If one of the two lines is not
available on Monday morning after a weekend possession the ability to
still move at least some passengers to work is great asset.

I got to have a quick chat with a Jubilee line driver at Stratford
yesterday night about the TBTC ATO system, I was curious to know how
the trains implement a stop at Stratford Staff Halt if there is a
request from staff at Market Depot.

The driver told me that the line controller has to be informed and a
request stop will be implemented in to the system once the train
departs West Ham, once the train arrives at the Staff Halt the driver
opens the cab door and that stops the train from restarting, once the
cab door is closed the train can continue.
