Just spoke with Jonny and they have been slightly hampered by the signal failure at North Acton are are currently around 10mins behind their schedule...
Possible problems lurking ahead due obstruction on track at Earls Court and District is part suspended and Circle severe delays....
Also ELL suspended due to signalling systems failure.....
They need the District to clear up in the Next couple of hours and not due at ELL until around 1530hrs......
Not looking too hopefull at the moment.............

Yes pretty ideal temperature wise, might be the odd shower later...tubeguru wrote:The weather looks stable today so at least that shouldn't come into play.

I hope for 18.43 (which happens to be the latest possible arrival at Heathrow T123 via T4) - thus that's my official guess!
On the other hand I wouldn't be too surprised if it came down to the same train (T123 at 23.53) as we had. GU - could you find out the EXACT departure time this morning?

I'm not quite that optipessimistic... There is plenty of time to sort out the ELL problems. The Circle problem is probably vanishing by the minute, and I doubt they need a *Circle* service, and probably not a District service either until this afternoon.Going Underground wrote:Can't see them getting it round today with the service problems.....

They are due at Wimbledon this morning, need the Earls Court obstruction removed........ actually just checked TfL and is now only severe delays on that stretch..... could still be "game on" then........tubeguru wrote:Exactly. At 10am all is not lost by a long way.
It's those problems that haven't happened yet that they need to worry about!

Yes, despite the delays, if they happen to arrive at EC and get a train going to Wimbledon which is just leaving, it doesn't matter how "delayed" it is - it will still get them to Wimbledon in the same time as a non-"delayed" train.
