Tubelines in Metroland

I was driving to work between Chorley Wood and Little Chalfont this
morning and a Tubelines van pulled across in front of me nearly
causing a crash. Why are Tubelines out in Metronet country?

Most likely an postman or an ERU delivery.

Tube Lines operate these and refuse collections for the whole network.

Too difficult to accept collections for the whole network?

It is a common misconception that Tube Lines run 1/3 of the
Underground due to being 3 lines JNP (3 lines) while Metronet are 2/3
network and 6 lines (BCV + SSL) so people think Metronet is twice as
big as Tube Lines.

Tube Lines in fact operates the lines over which 45% of all LU train
miles run (last time I added up the WTT miles that is), runs the
network wide ERU, and also Transplant. It is a bigger concern than
most people seem to realise.

As well as collecting refuse from every station and being fleet
managers for all LUL and InfraCo vehicles.
