The new one's available. I've never looked at it closely before,
but the Sunday morning closure of Bethnal Green and neighbouring
stations seems odd, and I'm wondering what the reason is.

They've cut out the stops at Bethnal Green (LO), Cambridge Heath and
London Fields but the running times are the same as if they were
stopping. Even odder.


This isn't anything new, these stations have always opened late on
Sundays. Prior to 2005 they had no Sunday service at all.

Possibly it is to allow Network Rail to do work on the slow lines, with
trains using the fast lines that do not have platforms at these
stations.
