which are equally steep. There is a steeper line in Ealing Depot.

The steepest part of the passenger network you say -
but which passenger network, the underground network
or the National Rail network? The East London Line will
after all be a National Rail style franchise operation
as opposed to an LUL line.

Good point. I meant the LU passenger network.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

I've certainly always had a chuckle at it when I've been reading your
posts. But then I like to think it wasn't that many years ago that I
was a 14 year old boy, who found all manner of inuendo tremendously
funny. But then my vehicle is a rusty old bicycle that I mount every
morning, and has me grunting and wheezing before long.

My reference, although not mentioned, was to do with the Picc coming
every two and a half minutes just after such an outrage that shut it
down for a month. It doesn't do though for anyone else just me.

What just south of east finchley and just south of arnos
grove ? They're pretty steep too.

Jesus. Surely you've seen this .sig before? If not, you haven't lurked
long enough to have an opinion worth listening to.

They are sustained descents (ISTR the one south of East Finchley is 1 in 50)
, but there are short descents of 1 in 30 on leaving the majority of deep
tube stations built from the Central Line on. This is to accelerate trains
leaving stations while keeping the electric bill down.

if nobody take exception to it and decides a prick is ripe to be blown
up, who am I to complain?

Well, John's been posting that sig for years to my knowledge. Why are
you only complaining about it now?

Oh, and for what it's worth (nothing, probably), I don't find it at all
offensive, just mildly amusing.

Will it have the greatest gradient? I believe from what I've been
told about the proposed route that it will go from low level to near
Bishopsgate above Liverpool St very quickly and this will be the
steepest part of the network.

What about Bow Road? I thought that was LU's steepest bank (ignoring
depots and braking/acceleration gradients at tube stations)?
