Whenever there is a signal failure, etc. anywhere on the District line it
always seems to affect the Wimbledon branch more than any other. Today there were several Ealing Broadway trains and an Olympia train from Earls Court (all nearly empty) while a platform full of people waited for a Wimbledon train. When it eventually did arrive it was there for a while because it was "over an hour late" and the driver had to have a "frank discussion on the platform" over whether it was going to Wimbledon. It's a good thing it did because despite being 2015 it was as full as the morning peak services into the city are and lots of passngers sounded annoyed My questions a 1. Why did the only audiable announcment say "because of an earlier incident" instead of a reason and why did the LU chap on the platform with the white wand not do any announcments? 2. Why couldn't the empty Ealing Broadway train which was immediately behind another Ealing bdy train have been made into a Wimbledon one? 3. Why were there no C stock trains around in either direction 4. Why is it always the Wimbledon branch that is most affected? and finally 4. When will the tubes ETA service be expanded to the District line I thought that since a lot of drivers post here it's better to ask this way than via customer services who "can only appologise" and hope "with the onset of PPP" everything will be sorted out -- Chris |
