Working Timetables

Post by RJSRdg »

I noticed that in one thread on this forum mention is made that some connections are possible based on WTT that would not appear to be possible from Journey Planner.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the WTTs (especially for the Central Line) as if it's possible to change from the XX:48 arrival at Hainault to the XX:47 departure things could definitely get interesting!

Thanks DB - looks like the two don't connect (what sort of bad planning is that?) :-(

Have to find some other way to tighten up this one.

Grr.. why can't TFL

(a) put the same times on JP as on the WTT?
(b) Time their connections better?

Thought I#d found myself a potential sub-16 hour route albeit with a very tight connection at Moor Park between the 6:16 arrival from Chesham and the 6:16 departure to Watford, but no, according to WTT the Chesham actually arrives at 6:17.... :-(

It is because of the difference in arrival and departure times.

The train from Chesham is due to depart at 06:17:00, which means it arrives at about 06:16:30 (shown as 0616 on the Journey Planner). The Watford train meanwhile will arrive at about 06:15:30 and depart at 06:16:00.

Thought it was probably something like that.... though of course I'd have preferred the Chesham to have arrived at 06:15:30 and the Watford to have departed at 06:16:30...
