In the past I've picked up leaflets containing timetables for the
Metropolitan line, though I can't remember what stretches of the Met
they have covered - I suspect it was just the extremities, though they
also helpfully contained a line diagram that showed the pattern of
stopping, semi-fast and fast trains - something I can't find on the
TfL website.

I'm not sure about south of Baker Street, but I recall in the mid to late
1990s the Met used timetables on the boards not the "time between
stations"
posters used for other lines. I think they also incorporated Chiltern.


I concur. I've seen leaflets specific to Met stations West of Rayner's
Lane, but only ever seen them available at the stations concerned. They
are quite detailed about train times and destinations served. I also
think, though, that the Met is probably an anomaly, combining the
sparsest and most varied service. I think.

Olympia gets a "proper" timetable given the rather odd frequency of
service (about every 17 minutes, except in the morning peak where there
are gaps of 34 minutes). It's shown prominently at Olympia, and at the
front of the westbound platform at Earl's Court. However, the online
version comes out rather oddly - it shows the full timetable *except*
for between 10pm and 11pm where it says "every 14-15 minutes"... I think
that's some issue with the software that auto-generates the timetables.
