How is the T-Cup doing...
 
....now that it's been in action a few weeks. I suppose no recent criticism
here is a good sign?

I've not had cause to try it. I noticed one report claiming cross-platform
interchange for "round the corner" passengers. That must be a lie of
course.

I just knew you would be first 'anti' to speak up. Give it a rest FFS...

Why? I and anyone making a similar journey have lost any assurance of a
step-free route between King's Cross and Earl's Court with the added
nightmare of the dire departures indicators at Edgware Road.

You've obviously missed the Standard reports of it being even less
reliable than before, as well as less frequent.

A hunch on my part suggests service
recovery times are a bit shorter than before but that's not based on
anything scientific.


Sorry Paul, does that mean that you think the service is recovering more
quickly?

We are the Strasbourg. Referendum is futile.

However, you have now gained the possibility of doing the same
journey, step-free, using the Piccadilly Line.

I was starting to wonder if LU had forgotten its existence -
announcements at White City this weekend pointed out that there was no
H&C line from Wood Lane, but no mention of the Circle Line...

So you keep saying, and it 's getting tedious in the extreme. As Paul C
suggests, once a long period of statistics is available, no doubt they'll be
able to prove whether platform allocation at Edgware Rd is reliably
happening as shown on the signs. In which case your assurance of a step free
route will be there if you get a Circle train. If that means you have to
change twice on a journey between Putney and Kings Cross, we know that.
We've been hearing about it for about two years now...

You've obviously missed the Standard reports of it being even less
reliable than before, as well as less frequent.


We all know it is less frequent, and we know the reasons.

Not if the reason for wanting it step free is because I have my bicycle
with me!

I only read they were promising step free on the Outer Rail, from Earls
Court to King's Cross. I read the other direction as no promises at all.
An have you ever tried to work out which the next train to High St is
going from at Edgware Road? I even got off a train I should have stayed on
because I believed a "Next Train to High St" sign on that bloody station!

You've obviously missed the Standard reports of it being even less

I don't know if you've seen the reports in the Standard but what I saw led
on reliability falling.
