Leaf-Fall Timetables
You'd thought you'd seen the back of these, hadn't you?
The timetables changed without much fuss on Sunday 7 October. I have the Amersham/Chesham/Chiltern branch (you can pick it up at Harrow-on-the-Hill although staff were rather uncooperating). Not as bad this time round, but it will add a few mins to the times. First train now takes two more minutes to do Chesham - Chalfont.
On the plus side, they've added in a few trains:
Mon-Fri:
2052 Watford - Rickmansworth
0048 Watford - Rickmansworth
Sundays:
0700 Rickmansworth - Watford
Thoughts?

As Autumn comes every year, I don't think there's anyone who thought they'd seen the back of leaf-fall timetables ...

Re: Leaf-Fall Timetables
We wouldn't love it at all, because it would have far-reaching environmental effects.

Well yes, but we'd still have drizzle and fog to grease those rails up nicely.

As for having adverse effects on the environment, i'm sure your dirt buckets are doing wonders for it...

Re: Leaf-Fall Timetables
Back on topic, this could be a very nice finish for a record attempt.hopeful traveller wrote: 2052 Watford - Rickmansworth
WATFORD 2052
RICKMANSWORTH 2100-2109
AMERSHAM 2121-2123
CHALFONT & LATIMER 2127-2135
CHESHAM 2143
so you would need to start after 0515 to have a record breaking route.

On a region such as ours, with so many different types of traction, you wouldn't believe the snobbery.scrxisi wrote:I didn't realise there existed traction snobbery. What a weird world.
