Piccadilly line reduced service was was Travelcards on Heathrow Express/Connect during LU closure
Full details in the TfL press release at:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-cent...s-releases-con tent.asp?prID=398 The release also says: "Customers can still travel between Central London and Heathrow on the Underground via the Central line to Ealing Broadway then the District line shuttle to Acton Town which will operate at a frequency of three trains per hour and then the Piccadilly line to Heathrow Terminals 123" Well, that's great. However, given that it takes 6 minutes for a train to fo from Ealing Broadway to Acton Town, how on earth does the shuttle work out at 3 tph? Even if it was worked by just one train, taking 6 minutes either way and having a 3-minute rest, that's 4 tph! Only 1.5 mins turnaround at each end, for the entire day, would be a bit hectic... Of course, they could always just use 2 trains, and actually provide a decent frequency. 3tph just doesn't cut it. It's a slap in the face considering the "customers" are already being highly inconvenienced by the closures. |
