Colindale Tube station has become step-free for the first time after a new ticket hall opened on Monday, making it the 94th accessible station on the #Underground. The upgraded entrance features a larger ticket hall, lift access from street to platform, wider pavements and a sustainable blue-and-green roof. The project boosts capacity to meet growing demand linked to major housing development in the area. Work began in January 2024, with funding from the Government, #Barnet Council, local developers and #Transport for #London, and included a six-month closure last year. Further works, including new signage, cycle parking, retail space and an accessible toilet, will be completed by mid-2026. The upgrade supports plans for thousands of new homes and forms part of TfL’s wider programme to expand step-free access across the network, subject to funding.

Turning, #Japanese : the old #bearing was from #NSK #Japan - so it would have been a fairly decent brand (its a VW OEM supplier) but /something/ knackered it (maybe a pothole?) - and as its not VW marked it would have been already replaced once - I don't think the lads at the dealer in #London would have had much opportunity to hoon the car before it was sold even if they wanted to, they are in #Barnet / #Enfield which is full of low speed limits as well as cameras).

The magnet ring was still intact, so I used some liquid crystal sheet to show the #magnetic fields (these #magnets are what makes the #ABS sensor work)

Note to self: remove bearing from the meeting table in the office *before* leaving tonight so its not still there on Monday 😁

Walking around King George's Field, High Barnet just now. There are vast quantities of bramble berries uncollected and uneaten, now shrivelled up, rather sad.

Massive fire destroys £4.5m mansion on Hadley Green in Barnet

I just drove past Hadley Green and had to take a long detour as there were multiple roads closed and fire engines present. Does anyone know what's happened?

Update: apparently a millionaire's mansion under refurbishment went up in flames last night: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/barnet-fire-hadley-green-road-hollybush-house-listed-lfb-millionaires-row-b1229724.html

Absolutely a dog has better detective skills than most officers in the Met, I can believe that.
