Default More on the Latchmere Curve parly train

Simon Calder covered the M-F one-way ghost train from Olympia to
Wandsworth Road (1:20 into the video, if you want to skip the even rarer
MK bus service).

AIUI, he's wrong to lay the blame at 'the train companies'. It was a DfT
decision not to run a service over the various bits of route in question -
therefore it is clearly down to them to apply for closure. Once ELL phase 2
opens the length requiring closure will shrink anyway, so that's possibly
why they are waiting...

Also, isn't the service two way at the moment between Kensington Olympia
(not Shepherds Bush) and Wandsworth Rd?

1004 - 1020 s/b and 1612 - 1629 n/b

So was this a BBC archive piece, or recent?
