Good question. I'm surprised nobody from the gensheet group has
written to DfT yet.

Southern has been route-learning Tulse Hill-Herne Hill-Brixton-
Latchmere-Kenny O recently, so perhaps something interesting is
planned to replace VXC's Saturday morning trains which currently cover
the route.


If a taxi (say Kensington Olympia to Ealing Broadway) could suffice as
the replacement over this route whilst closure proceedings are
underway, why can't they just replace the service with the Central
Line between Shepherds Bush and Ealing Broadway?

I can't see any evidence of a taxi in the booking engine searches so
far. Do occasional Virgin blockbusters suffice as a parliamentary
service?
