Good question. I'm surprised nobody from the gensheet group has
written to DfT yet.

Southern has been route-learning Tulse Hill-Herne Hill-Brixton-
Latchmere-Kenny O recently, so perhaps something interesting is
planned to replace VXC's Saturday morning trains which currently cover
the route.

If a taxi (say Kensington Olympia to Ealing Broadway) could suffice as
the replacement over this route whilst closure proceedings are
underway, why can't they just replace the service with the Central
Line between Shepherds Bush and Ealing Broadway?

I can't see any evidence of a taxi in the booking engine searches so
far. Do occasional Virgin blockbusters suffice as a parliamentary
service?

Southern only been route learning that way due to several drivers
moving into Link 1 at Norwood (the only drivers depot to sign the
route) and as there are no booked trains that way they have had to use
a spare unit to learn it in! Bring back the 4 eyed monster EPB for the
job i say!
