Several! And when I move to Plymouth, a LOT more (there are loads in Cornwall).

Favourite colour is Green (naturally :P)
How many signal boxes do I come under? Numerous ones, main ones being Wimbledon and Woking but there are quite a few, I even share one with Neil when I venture out to Reading. Ooooh, how exciting :P

I assume that all chat relating to episode three of The Tube is exhausted?

Do you mean a Tory London Underground minute, or a real minute? ;)

You can say that. Who's going to bring up the chat for episode 4?

interesting that you mention the 1-minutes though. i've got quite a few timings in my app now for when the board says "1 minute", how long the trains actually takes to arrive and come to a stand still. the average is 1 minute, 27 seconds - with Central line trains being the worst, where a 1 minute usually means between 1m40s and 1m50s ...

I thought Piccadilly Line trains were the worst in minutes, you said so in your report of your 17th time doing the challenge.
