Minor problem here... Picc drivers don't 'know' Ealing Broadway and
District drivers don't 'know' 73TS.

I'm pretty sure Piccadilly drivers do (or at least did) know Ealing
Broadway as it's a diversionary route which has happened in the past.

Apart from that, it would be very confusing to the punters as they would
have some 73 stock running all stations and some non-stop.

Nothing a good announcement at Hammersmith wouldn't solve.

I think he meant using 6-car C-Stock. These certainly have
clearance issues in the Dagenham area

What are these clearance issues?

When? Apart from a driver accepting a wrong signal and going there by
accident?

They might know it, but I don't think they "know" it, i.e. sign a
certificate for it on a six-monthly basis, because I don't believe every
Picc driver gets to go there every 6 months.

You are wrong, they do not. If Ealing Broadway is used for a Picc. diversion
a pilotman is required. The only time a Picc. driver would know Ealing
Broadway would be if he had recently transfered over from the District.

It may well have been used in the past but route knowledge only lasts
for 6 months when not used - then you require a pilotman.

EBY isn't taught to new Piccadilly drivers either (I've never done it,
I'm just aware it exists), it's only used in an emergency (ie. if you're
given the wrong route at Hanger Lane and for some reason the signalman
can't put the route back to correct it, or a shutdown on the Rayner's
branch after you've left ACT)
