The response to the question about depot locations is bizarre, they are all easy to find on line.

1 & 9 - it's starting to look like the change in commuter patterns is permanent with the various small businesses that served the commuter disappearing.

10 - Sir Humphry would be proud.

12 - So wanting correct information is now an 'obsession' rather than a 'passion'.

20) I agree with the respondents to the survey in ranking the wood-panel flooring at the bottom!

12. MyLondonclickbait article incoming.

12. A while back I noticed that the bus shelter at the 169 bus terminus, instead of being named 'Clayhall, The Glade' was named 'City Hall, The Glade'. I didn't tell TfL, but I did take a photo of it. It looks like someone else did tell TfL as the shelter has since been removed.

And yet more pedantry.
The taxi space length of 5,000mm is wrong and should be 5000mm as mentioned in Streetscape Guidance.

dg writes: Streetscape Guidance (page 323) says "When designing a taxi rank, a length of 5,000mm per taxi is standard."

Freddie | 31.08.24 - 9:23 a.m. | #

I would say that the taxi space length should be 5m.

I feel I have achieved a certain level of fame as I was responsible for 19.

Are we going to see a new form of measurement? The DGO or Diamond Geezer Obsessive rating.

What would be the scale? Integers from 1 to 10, or a number system that used numbers up to 10 decimal places to really properly reflect the minutiae of obsessiveness.

and all of you would be right…

Nonsense. Clearly 16 feet 5 inches.

There is a good reason why, in a design specification, 5000mm is a better measurement than 5m.

5) I had noticed that part of Stratford to Leyton is very noisy. It's part of my frequently made journey to a recording studio, and it damages my hearing every time. 'Put your fingers in your ears' is the advice I've had from a Health & Safety expert.

I became a bit obsessed and made several recordings. I can now listen at home (or in the destination recording studio) at a more comfortable volume. A modified version is already part of a piece of music I am making.

3) I find the SL7 impressive, I would have thought such a route would be slower. The SL6 is not so super.
12) Someone cares a lot about the H20, not to the point of obsession though - clearly they put more thought into this than TfL, who should be the obsessive ones.
19) Now I know! The closures drive me mad too often.

17 On construction drawings, horizontal and vertical dimensions are shown in millimetres. Datums, structural heights etc., are in metres

8) A great request. This is what the people want. I'd love a PDF copy of all the pocket tube maps. *Where do I fill in?*

4) Some of them, eg Neasden Depot, have their name proudly emblazoned on the side!

Cor! Thanks dg

20) Some of the buses round Clapham Junction (C3, 295) also have the skylights & wood floors, they have a much cleaner and smarter feel, I rather like them - surprised they were so poorly rated on the 63.

1) I find it interesting that even in 2015/16 the annual Travelcard total was only 113,424. I expected much higher, and 15,000 was a total shock. I wonder what the TOC numbers look like.
