While this is guessable (Epping to White City takes bang on an hour on
most trips), I am dimly ware that there are working timetables for
tube lines. How often to trains run to these times, and is it possible
to get a copy of these? With a 10-15 minute wait at the extremeties,
even at 9AM, it would be nice to see when trains are due.


They don't advertise it but working timetables are obtainable under the
Freedom of Information Act.


The TfL website has extracts of the public timetable, which the OP might
find more useful. Go to http://www.journeyplanner.org/im/SI-T.html to
find the interactive Tube map. Click on a station, then click on the
timetable for the line (and direction) that interests you. The summaries
give you the times of first and last trains, headways for various times of
day and off peak journey times to each station along the line.


Unfortunately those timetables have a major flaw as they don't give the
destination of each train. For example the timetable at Finchley Central
northbound shows all trains to High Barnet and Mill Hill East mixed together
with no indication of which is which.
