A) It would have cost nothing to have kept Charing X on the line map
as a dotted special events connection so avoiding any confusion if
trains had to go there.

But creating massive confusion to thousands of tourists who won't
necessarily read the small print about "special events".

Who cares about tourists? They're a tiny minority compared to commuters
and they get lost anyway so what difference does it make? Come up with a
better argument than that please.

The District doesn't serve Charing Cross. Why would thousands of people
choose to change at Westminster to the District and have a long walk up
Villiers Street from Embankment, when they could have changed at Baker
Street to the Bakerloo, or other alternatives from Bond Street or Green Park
if starting there. Again, you are arguing on behalf of people who got on
the wrong line anyway!

Embankment is a short 2 min walk from charing X , which is a lot less time
that it takes to get from the victoria line at victoria to the district in
the rush hour. And yes , they could have changed onto the bakerloo line
and gone to charing -x but if the jubilee had run their in the first place
then they wouldn't have had to would they?


Is the tube there for the convenience of passengers or is it just a
giant train set for LU to run as easily as possible? Have a long
think about that because following your logic the entire circle line
(along with a lot of the H&C) could be closed as you can reach all
the stations via other lines. And I won't even mention the parallel
running on met/jubilee/chiltern , district/piccadilly lines.

Following logic isn't a strength of yours, is it?

Its a bit difficult when there isn't any to follow. Anyway , you're just
another of many LU apologists that frequent this group and refuse to admit
that anything LU do is wrong. Theres always some damn excuse as to why
they couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't or can't afford to do something and I get
so sick of it, having to put with the BS excuses day to day as a commuter and
on here from the Friends Of LU.
