Default Wimbledon - East Putney engineering works

SWT's advance engineering works info for the Easter weekend shows a 6 tph
service through East Putney. *Will this result in a much reduced District
Line service?

"Two Basingstoke/Alton to Waterloo services per hour, two Woking to Waterloo
services per hour and two Shepperton to Waterloo services per hour diverted
via East Putney. (Sunday: Woking service starts at Guildford; one Kingston
via Shepperton and one Twickenham via Kingston)."

info from SWT website:http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWT...Easter2008.htm

Presumably this will all be a bit harder to organise if/when TfL take full
responsibility for the line at some time in the future, such as at SSL
resignalling?

I would have thought that the single track approach to East Putney and
crossing all the Putney tracks on the flat might be a bigger problem.

Avoiding both Putney trains and District line trains either side of
the junction must be quite a challenge.
