Particularly people who delight in spotting clangers.

For example, it tells us on page 45 that, "TfL is investigating running
trains every 100 seconds on the Jubilee and Piccadilly Lines, both of which
use relatively modern trains that will not be modified". Perhaps Rail meant
the Northern line, rather than the Picc, with its 40 year old stock?

It also tells us on page 57 that the Night Tube is, "making it much easier
to travel to and from Heathrow Airport on the Central Line". Perhaps
someone should tell Rail that the Central Line Night Tube gets no nearer to
Heathrow than Ealing Broadway.

We are reminded in large letters on each page of the supplement that it was
sponsored by Alstom, and it includes must-read articles like, "Alstom's
BERTRAND DELPIERRE tells Paul Stephen how 2016 is shaping up to be yet
another successful year for the company's innovative metro offering". This
is the same Alstom that shut its Washwood Heath Tube train factory more
than a decade ago, and which has won no UK train orders since the Pendolino
top-up order.
