Amersham to Barking is a heck of a long way. Could this be a contender
for the longest non stop journey on the tube or is Epping to West
Ruislip still further?


Just done a quick calculation. I make the distances:

54.69km Epping - West Ruislip
56.76km Amersham - Barking

So the Met line would end up longer (and longer still if trains ran
through to Chesham).

As far as I know, Met from Aldgate runs only to Uxbridge. Amersham and
Chesham trains terminate at Baker Street. What about Uxbridge to
Barking?

Less long in distance, but it will only take you about the 5 minutes
less since Uxbridge-Aldgate runs all-stop.

Because at the moment, the Met trains empty out in one direction and fill up
in the other. It's better to have them filling up with new people as the old
ones get out.

The off peak service pattern is:
Aldgate - Uxbridge (All Stations)
Baker Street - Watford (All Stations)
Baker Street - Amersham (Fast - Wembley Park to Harrow and Harrow to
Moor Park)

In the peak there are all sorts of fast, stopping and semi-fast
services running the whole or part of the line, as well as 2 with flow
peak Chesham - Aldgate Fast services, there are also some other early
morning and late night Chesham 8 car services. Of course the Controller
often amends the stopping patterns if gaps arise in the service or
divert trains to cover other branches gaps.

Don't forget that the entire Sub-Surface Railway will be very very
different in 10-15 years tim to what it currently is, including the
District running to Uxbridge instead of the Piccadilly

Hm, I think he meant "longest journey without change on the tube"... ;-)

I didnt realise the District Line was running up until Uxbridge? Does that
mean the Picadilly line is being shortened?
