SWT's advance engineering works info for the Easter weekend shows a 6
tph service through East Putney. Will this result in a much reduced
District Line service?
"Two Basingstoke/Alton to Waterloo services per hour, two Woking to
Waterloo services per hour and two Shepperton to Waterloo services per
hour diverted via East Putney. (Sunday: Woking service starts at
Guildford; one Kingston via Shepperton and one Twickenham via
Kingston)."
info from SWT website:
http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWT...Easter2008.htm
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/livetra...me/tube/track-
closures.pdf has work for that weekend as affecting:


"Baker Street to Hammersmith (Hammersmith & City) - No Circle - Earl's
Court to Edgware Road (District)"


So I'd suggest the Edgware Road-Wimbledon service won't run at all which
frees up the required paths from East Putney.

First thing I did was look that up. If there were no District line
trains between Wimbledon and Earls Court, the PDF would explicitly say
so. It doesn't, so there will be.


Yes, but remember that even if the Wimblewares are taken off. There will
still be Upminster/Barking/TowerHill to Wimbledons running



Yes, of course - that's a good point, and in that context David
Jackman's comment make sense (so sorry David!).
