I travel up to London every sunday and i find delays on the central
line,jubilee line full of enginering works and the district the
same. Traveling from Upminster brige to baker street is close
coming up to 1 hour 45 mins compared to a while ago to 1 hour and
ten due to the fact of delays and longer routes.
I find my self taking buses as its quicker yes buses being quicker!
I would like to see some improvement soon to the underground as its
getting rediculous


If you are a volunteer railway worker (Epping-Ongar according to another
post of yours), I would expect you to realise that the engineering works
are in order to provide the improvement you would like to see. How else
do you expect tracks to be replaced?

Re your journey Upminster Bridge to Baker Street: why the longer route?
District UB to Whitechapel, then H&C Whitechapel to Baker Street should
take about an hour next weekend when the usual District/Circle weekend
closure is in place, according to the TfL Journey Planner.
