A check today on SWT's journey planner shows a 6 tph frequency
Wimbledon - Clapham Junction & return on Saturday.


Two of them (taking 28 minutes) are by bus, presumably serving
Earlsfield.


The other four are down to take 15 minutes. The usual journey time is
7 minutes, so that would seem to confirm that they are not going the
usual way, although I would have thought that 15 minutes, via a single
track connection and fitting in with the District Line is a bit
ambitious.


I'm reading it as there are 6 tph and 3 buses. SWT's display only shows 5
services at once, you have to click 'earlier' or 'later' as well.


Ah right. In that case even more potential inteference with the
District.

Although there is no sign on TfL's site of any service 'reductions' on the
District Line, could they be running a reduced frequency compared to a
normal Saturday


As well as six non-stop services each way threading between stopping
services, that's twelve tph in total down a single track at East
Putney and also fitting in between regular services to and from Putney
on the flat.

The whole thing does seem a bit ambitious.



However there's no 'Wimbleware' service for the whole long weekend, as
there's no (District/Circle) trains running between Edgware Road and
Earls Court/Gloucester Rd. Perhaps this does point to a reduced
frequency on the District from Wimbledon this weekend then.
