My last three jobs have all had a clause in the contract stating "Your
normal place of work is X. However, the employer is based on sites X,
Y and Z and your normal place of work may be reallocated to sites Y or
Z", so I don't have much sympathy for that argument.

That's OK as long as that clause was there when you started. The issue
at stake here is the employer *adding* a clause like that later.

Indeed, though the fact that my last three jobs have had it made me
think (perhaps erroneously, I admit!) that it wasn't unusual.

I was having a moment of curiosity last night about the train lengths,

anyone knows any?

IIRC there was talk of Notting Hill Gate, Bayswater, Edgware Road, and
Baker Street (Circle) being lengthed from 6 to 7 cars, to allow 7-car
trains on the entire Circle. But did someone suggest it had been
canned?
