Safwaanf1: If they stand for different lines, I'd like to trial DLR and District Line. And Circle Line. If they don't stand for different lines I still want to trial them. Aug 8, 2014 17:36:44 GMT

Unorm: VL-A is Victoria Line [replacement] (A), so on for other replacements, Circle Line [replacement](A), you get the drill

LondonConnect: New bids are up. Please contact me if you would like to do Rail Replacement and which line. And don't ask ML-A as that's already booked. Aug 10, 2014 11:30:52 GMT
