I travel up to London every sunday and i find delays on the central
line,jubilee line full of enginering works and the district the same.
Traveling from Upminster brige to baker street is close coming up to 1
hour 45 mins compared to a while ago to 1 hour and ten due to the fact
of delays and longer routes.
I find my self taking buses as its quicker yes buses being quicker!
I would like to see some improvement soon to the underground as its
getting rediculous

Have you taken the trouble to find out what the cause of the extended time
is?

Why would taking the trouble to find out the reason for the delay make
it better or excuse LUL for it.

Well, off the top of my head, if the reason was a matter out of LUL's
hands perhaps????

It's like Vietnam: it's going to get worse before it gets better.

No it isn't. They drive on the other side of the road there.

During the current weekend closures, you could try getting the c2c
service from Upminster station to Fenchurch Street, then walk to
Aldgate East and get the "enchanced" Hammersmith & City from there to
Baker Street.

Having said that, the engineering closures do seem to be getting
worse. Half the underground seems to be closed at weekends these days.
There are some particularly badly-coordinated ones as well: for a
couple of Sundays last month (13th and 20th), much of NW London was
cut off from the centre, due to 3 separate sets of engineering works
resulting in the Metropolitan, Jubilee, Bakerloo, Chiltern, and
Silverlink Metro all simultaneously having no service to central
London.

If you are a volunteer railway worker (Epping-Ongar according to another
post of yours), I would expect you to realise that the engineering works
are in order to provide the improvement you would like to see. How else
do you expect tracks to be replaced?

Re your journey Upminster Bridge to Baker Street: why the longer route?
District UB to Whitechapel, then H&C Whitechapel to Baker Street should
take about an hour next weekend when the usual District/Circle weekend
closure is in place, according to the TfL Journey Planner.
