Default Piccadilly Line back on Thursday...

At least Hammersmith area users get a replacement bus service, not so
those affected by the Earl's Court - Whitechapel suspensions.

Why would you want to delay track replacement between Barons Court and
Acton Town? The quality of the ride on that stretch is awful and has
led to speed restrictions. I see no advantage in finishing Earl's
Court - Whitechapel first, though I agree that Metronet's progress there
seems very slow.
