Service Train at Colindale
On Sunday a service train was on the Northbound platform at Colindale.
It looked quite different from the usual trains, and there were computers, desks and things like that inside - plus a guy who looked fairly busy. I know the NL was messed up on Saturday, but I've never seen a mobile office of this kind before. Someone here must know all about them, though! Tim -- Tim Gowen |

... Track recording train? Depends. The Track Recording Train was stabled in Highgate Depot on Sunday afternoon, however if the sighting was morning or evening then it would be very likely to be the TRT on the basis that it was on the Northern Line on that day. |

... It was about 10am. That figures, as it was in Highgate at about 1430-1500. What does the TRT do? See reply from Mr. Mayes! DS |

See: http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...rchin.earth.li I was told it was probably a track recording train, but none of the pictures i was pointed at looked anything like it.

Maybe i was thrown by the fact that in the photo, it's hooked up to some big NR cars, whereas when we saw it, it was hooked up to tube cars. Or maybe you're part of the conspiracy too. tom -- there is not much call for a Chinese George Michael |
