I noticed today that they've redesigned the Met line diagrams to try
and show (for the first time?) the way the service actually works -
i.e. a loop between Finchley Rd and Wembley Park (marked 'Fast and
semi-fast trains) and effectively 3 separate lines after Harrow (the
Uxbridge branch, then one with all the stops marked to Watford, then
the Amersham/Chesham branch with only the relevant stops shown). It
looks a little bit messy but probably makes more sense...

Isn't there still a extra-semi-fast Amersham service that stops at one set
of intermediate stations missed by the fast service but not the other?

Are they illuminated to show which service one is travelling on?

Not any more - all Amersham services became fast (as opposed to
semi-fast) a few years ago.

(Well, there might still be one a day or something, just to stop the
Moor Park (slow) - Rickmansworth lines getting rusty)


Incidentally, the District has had new line diagrams recently too. For
some reason Ealing Broadway is marked "Trains to Heathrow" - but no
mention of the (far cheaper and more frequent) trains to Heathrow from
Acton Town. Oh well.

That'd be no fun...

ie. Not at all?
