Piccadilly line

...Train cancellations. An almost endless update over the radio now particularly on weekends. On 11 March by the time the night turn controllers had booked on there were apparently 69 ONAs on the Picc. Often the service is running with upto 40 but why the big increase? What do management plan to do...

For more than a month the Piccadilly line had had two sets of points out of action. At both South Harrow and Northfields trains have been restricted by one fewer reversing move and all Heathrow trains have been forced down the local at Acton Town.

This was causing delays as all the Heathrow and...

Staff and passengers on the Piccadilly line will have spotted that the trains are starting to get pretty mucky. Plenty of "clean me" messages, and some rather more obscene, means we seem to be heading for maybe a spring clean if we are lucky.

The train wash at Cockfosters is not yet back in use...

Management's continued reluctance to do almost anything about the state of Bollo House train depot on the Piccadilly line was under renewed pressure when we got no hot water one nippy Tuesday morning.

Along with machines with no food, doors that won't stay quiet and mice falling through the...

Recently it seems service control on the Picc has lost its way on incident management. No updates, missing calls, not putting trains away, acting as if they won't make decisions — all while drivers get made late and then have to demand a reluctant desk to actually do something.

RMT members in four areas on LUL stations - Victoria Centre (Euston/Green Park), King's Cross, Heathrow (Heathrow Terminals, Hatton Cross, Hounslow West), and the Special Requirements Team (SRT, a department of mobile station staff which provides extra staffing resources for events, projects, etc.)...

RMT has called an overtime ban on stations from 20-26 November.

It's time-limited, timed to support members on three areas - King's Cross, Heathrow, and the Special Requirements Team (SRT) - where workers plan to take action to protest the imposition of new rosters and a new framework, in the case...

Now South Harrow Sidings is partially opened, management are hoping that the 15 minute chat and video are enough to get drivers to go in and out with no problem. Unfortunately for us the ballot failed that could have seen legal action short of strike to refuse to do the moves in and out of the...

We're less than 24 hours in to RMT's overtime ban on stations, and it's already beginning to bite. We knew it had LU rattled, as they've been broadcasting PAs informing passengers about "industrial action between 3 June and 10 July", the period of the ban, and telling them to expect station closures...

RMT is re-balloting drivers as part of the dispute over enforced night working. That dispute is as important today as it was when the 2016 agreement was first ripped up, back in 2021.

When the deal between ASLEF and London Underground, which abolished the part-time Night Tube driver grade and...
