Maybe he was under the impression that all mainline trains stop at all stations.tractakid wrote: Beware while reading- some things in true Benjamin style are either massively over exaggerated or interpreted wrongly, like the Barking map.

But if only someone could set up a forum somewhere, where people could discuss the tube challenge. That would probably help raise awareness too.

I've finally had an e-mail reply from TfL today (i.e. on the second day of the Beer Festival). Here's what it said:
"Thank you for your follow-up email of 6 August regarding District line services to Kensington (Olympia).
I can confirm that there will not be a special District line service during the Great British Beer Festival. London Overground services do stop at Kensignton Olympia regularly and is the best way to travel to the venue."
