Default Met/Chiltern lines next weekend


This weekend the Met line will be closed between Wembley Park and
Aldgate. This is despite that stretch of line closing almost every
weekend from September 2004 to may 2005 for the Wembley rebuild.

During that time Chiltern railways put on extra trains to cope with the
mass of people trying to get to/from London, but as Marylebone is now
closed most weekends in June/July there will be no direct link into
London from Amersham southwards.

Couple of questions:

Was it really not possible to do this work on the Met line during the
past 30 odd weekends?

Who is responsible for co-ordinating work between network rail and
Metronet to try and ensure this kind of thing doesn't happen?
