One big problem that will have to be sorted is the loss of Hammersmith
Depot during the closure so trains that normally 'stable' there will
either be locked in during the closure (meaning less trains for the
services mentioned above) or room will have to be found elsewhere for
them. This means less efficient use of trains and train crew with
alterations to other lines timetables to provide paths.

How much has been used recently? We have already been told that Neasden
was used.

In addition, the traincrew will have to travel from (and to
Hammersmith) to Edgware Road to pick-up their trains. This will
involve taxi travel and more time penalties.

District via Earl's Court?

So, don't expect miracles to happen.

We are only asking for a bit more imagination.
