Also remember the "Met Link" at Ruislip. This is from Ruislip Siding on the
Met into Ruislip Central Line depot - about the most well used link by
Engineering Trains.

There is also the link at Ealing Broadway, seldom used, but Plat 7 at Ealing
Broadway still has Central Line ATP test coils fitted and maintained for
trains crossing to the Central.

Anyone tell me anything about the stretch of line which links the
District
with the East London Line? Is it entirely in tunnel and double-tracked?
How
long is it? Where does it branch off from the District and where does
it
join the East London? Has its use always been restricted to one train in
one
direction at a time because of tight clearance? Has anyone on the group
travelled it over it? And where else on LU are there similar
non-passenger
stretches to allow for stock transfers etc.?

0.46km long, runs between Whitechapel Junction (a little south of the
ELL station) to St Mary's Junction (a little west of the District
Whitechapel station).

Other transfer lines at:
Kings Cross (Picadilly - Northern)
Baker St (Bakerloo - Jubilee, once passenger-carrying when the
Stanmore branch was Bakerloo)
Finsbury Park (Picadilly - Victoria)
and, once upon a time, Finsbury Park (GN&C - Northern at Highgate).
