Here's hoping. I've often found the lack of a W&C a real pain when the
Jubilee is down on Sundays or in the evenings. Neither Oxford Circus nor
Tottenham Court Road are particularly easy interchanges between the
Central
and Waterloo-bound lines when tourist crushed.

Would be nice if they could provide the full weekday service before
worrying about Sundays.
Queues back beyond the top of the ramps at Waterloo at 9am today, which
usually means at least one train out of service.
Who on earth thought running a timetable that required 100% availability
was a good idea?


So you would rather they always ran a four train service, even when all five
trains are available? It seems better to run five trains when possible, and
accept that sometimes one will be out of service.
