Default Silverlink's last journey south of Stratford next Saturday

wrote in message
ups.com...
The very last "normal" journey is the 2337 ex North Woolwich on Friday.
A special will run the next day for invited guests only; the gen says
that the special will be run by 313101, possibly to be named
"Silvertown".


Is that really right? On the Silverlink website, it says:

"The Stratford-North Woolwich service, currently operated by Silverlink
Metro, will be withdrawn with effect from Sunday 10 December 2006."

I make it that the last train would therefore be 23:36 Sunday night. Do
you have a more "inside" source of information

Not an "inside" source, but Sunday 10th is the first day of the *new*
timetable [without a service to North Woolwich.] The last day of the old
service is Saturday 9th, with the last service at 23:37.

Confirmed by

(linked from the page you quoted, Jason).

[The special is on the Sunday, I believe.]
