GJ you have the same problem with Google Chrome join the club, anyway the photo now works thanks the small lamp at the side of the destination display I seem to remember was blue not sure if it flashed when the train was in FACT mode. I ended up going back to IE to save the pictures.... anyway, indeed the lamp was Blue and it did flash when in FACT mode. I've been sent an interesting link irse.org.au/images/stories/IRSE_Proceedings/Proceedings/IRSE%20Proceedings%201981.pdf page 110 is where to start. IE I went off that but if it serves a purpose that's okay thanks for the link there is other LU stuff also. |

The ATO train was routed into platform 2 at Hanault in the 70's due to building work being done to platform 3. They were building a new office for the what was then, Duty train manager on platform 3. About the same time, the driver I was with built a nice brick shed in his back garden. As I suspect many did. Might be the reason why the building work took so long? Last train to West Ruislip always seemed to have the centre cabs full of bricks and cement. No idea why? I know someone who when they built what is now the Jubilee at Baker Street put on the necessary and took loads of tiles his kitchen had these Sherlock Holmes heads on them it broke the ice when someone came round. |

Where I was living at the time they were building the Jubilee line, my next door neighbour was employed as a tiler to tile the stations. As a self employed man, they were paying him £1500 a week to tile. Most days he had nothing to do as they were not delivering enough tiles. Several deliveries were no good and he bought those as a job lot for pennies. I ended up with a nice tiled kitchen and bathroom thanks to that.

I worked on the Jubilee extension project there were some very high up people who had various things done one even had a swimming pool built, but when the fan was turned on the brown stuff went in a lot of directions. |

It has to be 10 out of 10 for that pdf which I have never seen before. O/T but lots of interesting stuff including the original Picc Line East End resignalling which I worked on in 1979. I transferred from signals to telephones before the final stages and commissioning but I was engaged on the first stage changeovers at Wood Green (taking out the cabin) and Cockfosters (gutting the signal cabin relay room and reproviding the facility in a temporary wooden hut next door) and did a lot of work on days at Oakwood and Cockfosters relay rooms and on nights in the tunnels and temporary platform relay room at Wood Green. |

If you check the IRSE site there is a lot more. I presume you mean the Australian IRSE website. The UK IRSE website is members only AFAIR. My IRSE Signalling Tester License expired in 2005 and I'm retired so membership is not possible, AFAIK being an 'interested party' is not credentials enough for access. |

No problem it's strange though where the brake handle would normally be looks like a key I think on some main line trains had these?
