Central line - Good Service
How could the Central Line be running a good service this evening around
half seven when there was a gap of eight minutes for the next train? Also constant announcements from the control room at Bond Street station....zzzzz |

Unfortunately a "good service" in LU speak simply means some trains are running. I've heard the exact same drivel through the tannoy while waiting on a piccadilly line platform with 300 other people for 10 minutes in the middle of the rush hour on dozens of occasions. B2003 |

B2003 When I was stuck on the Jubilee line on the night the S stock failed at Finchley Road Thursday 3rd Feb and it took more than 45 minutes to get from Finchley Road to Wembley Park (6 stops) My tube buddy claimed this was Good Service Complete rubbish info from TFL journey planner |

Unfortunately a "good service" in LU speak simply means some trains are running. It doesn't even mean that. In the past, they've claimed the Victoria Line has a Good Service when the entire line was at a standstill due to a broken down train! |

They can't even open the ticket offices when they are supposed to. The ticket office in the Tube ticket hall at Kings Cross is supposed to open from 05:00 - 00:45 on Monday - Friday, even under the new opening hours. However this morning at 06:45 not a single window was open. "Staff shortage" I suppose. |
