Met Line Closure

Post by hopeful traveller »

You should by now be aware that the Met Line is closing between Wembley Park and Aldgate after 2200 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. So imagine my confusion when I board a train at Finchley Road at 2216 yesterday. After I get off at Ruislip Manor (for a cheap kebab) I ask the station people, and they can't give me exact timing for last trains, except for the last Southbound train direct to Central London.

Answers on a postcard please. Or, alternatively, the precise times of the last trains from Aldgate, Liverpool Street, etc.?

Last northbound through trains:

#470 2213 Baker Street- Watford
#467 2217 Aldgate- Amersham (2235 ex Baker Street)
#423 2222 Aldgate- Uxbridge (2240 ex Baker Street)
#462 2232 Aldgate- Chesham (2250 ex Baker Street)

After #462 has departed, there are no more through trains from Baker Street. Amersham, Chesham and Uxbridge trains re-start at Wembley Park, Watford (Met) trains re-start at H-o-t-H

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Presumably these are temporary closures for engineering work?

Depends on your definition of temporary. The southern end of the Met is closing early for the next 2 years though!

Significant enough to warrant the publishing of 2 working tt's, the main one and the supplement for the weekdays when services stop early.
