"NOT AFRAID" - Tube Relief 2005

[Alansslonep]

The times shown are when they pass through Earl's Court. I'm back at work this afternoon so I will answer your other question then - I'll see if I can post a summary of the full timetable. Also, if you are at Earl's Court waiting to go down to Wimbledon and trains arrive on both Platforms 3 & 4, more often than not the train on platform 3 will get to West Brompton first. This is because there are more likely to be running late.

Hmm, if my projected Olympia train isn't one of the Morning Peak ones then, I think that's going to be another reason to pick up 10 minutes before that point (something I was already hoping to do somewhere before I got to the Epping end of the Universe).

Hmm, I wonder where/if I can shave 10 minutes off -- beyond walking fairly briskly on the walks I already have on the route...

The morning peak for the Olympia bracnh ends at 1020 - thats when one train retruns to depot and is replaced by another. If there is no driver available for the 1020 it will be cancelled, hence the trains then being at 08 & 39, slight change from what I posted yesterday A full Olympia timetable to come - i've sent it to Geoff so that he can post a link to it.

Also, the following stations will be closed next Thursday, at/after the times shown.

Ruislip Manor westbound - all day
Eastcote - after 2100
Hounslow Central - after 2200.

Ahh, good good. I'm expecting to get to Olympia before that, so that should be OK for me. Might well bite a lot of people though....

Bloody Ruislip Manor!

Had to be awkward, didn't it?

[Senji]

Fortunately, unless you're planning on alighting or boarding a train there, a pass-through is sufficient (c.f. Queensway)

[Nutteronabus]

Actually, if you're going Westbound through Ruislip Manor, does it qualify as a pass-through?

Or do you have to double back cos it's open the other way?

[Nutteronabus]

Ahhh- excellent.

The psychics are out in force today, I see!

Actually, if you're going Westbound through Ruislip Manor, does it qualify as a pass-through?

I would have thought that, as we're not going for a record attempt, it would be perfectly reasonable to treat the affected stations as a passthrough. Geoff?

Cheers,

The following stations will be closed next Thursday, at/after the times shown.

Ruislip Manor westbound - all day
Eastcote - after 2100
Hounslow Central - after 2200.

All of these count as a passthrough if you pass-through them when they are closed - same rules as Queensway. Why? Because it is a temporary change to the timetable NOT a permanent one. This includes stations that are only closed one way - you don't have to visit the station in the direction that it is open.

The situation where pass throughs do not count is Cannon Street after 2100 - because no trains are timetabled to stop there on the permanant timetable. On tube relief though, a blind eye will be turned if you pass through Cannon Street on say, the last train to Upminster.

It probably won't help on the day, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. ETA is now available for the Jubilee, Bakerloo, Northern, and Victoria Lines. As before it's available on WAP, and for browser equiped PDAs, for when you are on the move.

The address for the normal version is http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/travelinfo/eta/

[Senji]

I certainly expect to use ETA for the Victoria Line, and it might come in handy at Stratford and Stanmore. I guess it *might* come in handy at Kenton, but...

Oh, and Morden is a critical change via the outdoors as well, so...

[Alansslonep]

Another warning for you all. There will be roadworks, resurfacing so quite major, next Thursday in Wimbledon Village, which will affect buses 93 & 493, two of the routes that you may be thinking of using for the conenction between Wimbledon and Morden.

[Senji]

Any problems with Tramlink as a result?

(Tramlink double-plus good)

[Senji]

Jinx!
