we have now confirmed that the proposed changes will go ahead."

Which is what everyone expected anyway...

I don't quite get how the olympia service which only ran every 15 or 30 mins
can have caused such congestion at earls court that they feel the need
to get rid of it. Or is that just an excuse? (I'm not axe grinding , it makes
no difference to me, I never use it).

Flat crossings and 3 other intensive services using it I would think.

Bloody hell, they do a figurine of Elizabeth Bathory. I hope the police
are informed when anyone orders one.

They want to use the units elsewhere.

In days gone by, wasn't this service operated by half-length trains
(which would be more than enough except when there's a large show at
Olympia)?

If it's just down to utilising the D stock elsewhere, why has no-one
suggested using a couple of sets of redundant A stock to retain the shuttle
service? AIUI the only restrictions on A stock applied between Edgware Road
and High Street Ken, so it's (presumably) in gauge beyond HSK.

In days gone by they used the most ancient District Line stock still
running, until about 1959 when they realised what a bad impression it gave
to people coming to international exhibitions at Olympia. Since then they
have used standard District Line stock. Atone time that was 6-car trains as
used on the Wimbleware service but not enough C69/77 stock was ordered to
allow that to continue.
