Default Silverlink's last journey south of Stratford next Saturday

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Silverlink Metro, will be withdrawn with effect from Sunday 10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

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



If you find out more the time of the special, please post it here.
