Tubelines in Metroland
I was driving to work between Chorley Wood and Little Chalfont this
morning and a Tubelines van pulled across in front of me nearly causing a crash. Why are Tubelines out in Metronet country? |

Most likely an postman or an ERU delivery. Tube Lines operate these and refuse collections for the whole network. |

Why are Tubelines out in Metronet country? It is a common misconception that Tube Lines run 1/3 of the Underground due to being 3 lines JNP (3 lines) while Metronet are 2/3 network and 6 lines (BCV + SSL) so people think Metronet is twice as big as Tube Lines. Tube Lines in fact operates the lines over which 45% of all LU train miles run (last time I added up the WTT miles that is), runs the network wide ERU, and also Transplant. It is a bigger concern than most people seem to realise. -- Nick |
