Euston - Northern Line (City Branch)
Anyone know if there is any reason behind a distinct lack of Northern Line
trains northbound to Edgware from the City Branch at Euston? (at least I think it's the City branch - will double check the platform number tomorrow) From last week certainly around 7:40am, there has been no Edgware branch train indicated for at least 15 mins when I've come off the Victoria Line southbound. No major hassle as I just get the first High Barnet train and change to the Edgware branch at Camden Town, but it's starting to annoy me now. Don't recall seeing any posters or info from TfL and what info I have seen has been weekend work mostly and affecting the Bank / High Barnet Branch (actually quicker to do this than get to the other platform at Euston) Nicola |

So you do have to change at Camden Town. |

Starting last Monday, all City branch trains go to High Barnet during morning rush hour. U -- http://londonconnections.blogspot.com/ A blog about transport projects in London |

Somewhere other than on the Northern line this morning, I heard platform PA reporting no Edgware service on the Northern line Bank branch. I find it irritating that LU refers to the Bank branch everywhere, other than at Euston, where they refer to the City branch. I dislike the double nomenclature. The following from the journey planner showing through trains suggests there may have been a timetable change. Departing: Wednesday 06 February 2008 at: 08:00 From: King's Cross St.Pancras Underground Station To: Chalk Farm Restrictions: Route Depart Arrive Duration 1 08:49 09:00 00:11 change 2 08:54 09:02 00:08 through 3 09:20 09:29 00:09 through 4 10:19 10:26 00:07 through I requested "Routes with the fewest changes". At Moorgate, just after 06.30, the only two trains displayed had High Barnet destinations. -- Walter Briscoe |

Surely not as irritating as the fictional "Camden Town, Bank Branch" and "Camden Town, Charing Cross Branch" which I keep hearing about. Yes, arranging it so that the southbound split at Camden happened north of the station would have been a far better arrangement, but that didn't happen. What's wrong with just saying, "This train is for Morden, via Bank", or whatever? If Mornington Crescent closed again, would we suddenly start hearing about the "Edgware Branch" and "High Barnet Branch" at Euston? |

Maybe they should split the Northern into two notionally separate lines, Northern Bank Line and Northern Charing Cross Line. -- Thoss |

It's due to a lack of Northern line trains northbound to Edgware on the City branch at King's Cross. HTH. tom -- Baby got a masterplan. A foolproof masterplan. |

LOROL! There have been signs up for ages. Believe me, if I'd seen a sign / poster I would have said so and I still haven't - bear in mind I come off the southbound Victoria, go left up the stairs then down the stairs and right to Northern line and cross from one branch to the other at Camden. At the very least, I'd have expected a poster between the High Barnet and Edgware branches at Camden, but I haven't seen anything I get the daily TfL email alerts and check the TfL website site twice a day and haven't noticed a thing, apart from reference to weekend work |
