By Foulounoux , March 23, in Websites. I have just learned of the passing of Dave Maloney, driver and instructor on the London Underground District line, known to many in the railway circle as District Dave. Dave was one of the people who got me interested in signaling, and his website taught me a lot. My condolences go to his wife and family. The Forum Adminstrators have been in touch with Dave's family and they are aware of this thread which we'd like you all to treat as a book of condolence for Dave. Following a software upgrade the Classifieds section is out of action. I'm working to resolve this.

This site is best viewed at x resolution. Since I've been running this site I've had a lot of questions sent to me by e-mail and I've always tried to answer these fully, and as quickly as I can. I'm happy to continue to get personal mails from readers of this site, but it occurred to me that other readers may have similar questions, and might like the opportunity to read my replies and add their thoughts too. This idea is being aimed solely at matters either raised here already or for questions specifically relevant to this site in particular and London Underground in general. However, since I originally started this, the traffic the 'original' forum is receiving has started to far outweigh the capacity provided and I've had to delete some older threads that I'd really rather have left available, so a new version has been started. But I emphasise that the idea is that this resource is particularly aimed at readers of this site and to matters raised on it either directly or indirectly. It is most certainly not my intention to 'challenge' other forums, of which there are several good options available. I hope you'll join in or continue to participate and help make this site more interactive. Enter the forum by clicking the 'District Line' logo below.

We shared links way back when there were only a handful of places online to share a discussion about the Tube. RIP District Dave by version3point His family and forum admins have written the following obituary which I'd like to share on the blog. The website became a firm favourite for enthusiasts and railway professionals alike, who wanted to learn more about the Underground or discover what life was like as a Train Operator. However, it was the visionary in Dave, in creating his Proboards forum and an earlier Bravenet version , with its quality and discipline, that became a rare gem amongst forums and allowed railway professionals and enthusiasts to interact, share and learn about the Underground.

This is an improvement on , if accurate, but surely the 92s can't be kept running that long? They were never a brilliant design, even when new The interiors are getting very worn.
