reliability of NNL and district line richmond branch

How reliable is the Richmond branch of the NNL and district line? I was waiting at Turnham green for 25 mins for a richmond train. Yes, it happens. Richmond trains normally start from Upminster, so they have 37 stations before Turnham Green in which to develop delays, not to mention interleaving the service with the Hammersmith & City, the Circle, and the Wimbledon, Ealing, Edgware Road and Olympia services of the District. Richmond trains also have to share tracks and an inadequate signalling system between Gunnersbury and Richmond. Delays there on an eastbound service can affect the next westbound run of that train. Richmond trains are supposed to run every 10 minutes for most of the day, so you may be due for a charter refund if your delay was more than 15 minutes. The NLL (not NNL) is also fairly unreliable in my experience. Was any announcement made at Turnham Green about the delay? When was this? -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
