Which is what everyone expected anyway...


I don't quite get how the olympia service which only ran every 15 or
30 mins can have caused such congestion at earls court that they
feel the need to get rid of it. Or is that just an excuse? (I'm not
axe grinding , it makes no difference to me, I never use it).


They want to use the units elsewhere.


In days gone by, wasn't this service operated by half-length trains
(which would be more than enough except when there's a large show at
Olympia)?
