Driver training is now under way with the first group now into their second week, and the second now well into their first week. All being well the first group of drivers should be doing doing their practical train handling using the timetabled paths tomorrow/Friday.

Member of staff told me today that one unit of S stock *should* enter passenger traffic on the Met Line on Monday.

No doubt the usual disclaimers apply...
