MUSE concert at Wembley
 

Those of you lucky enough to have gone to this concert yesterday, will
know of the pathetic attempts by LU to get the crowds away in a timely
manner. Doesn't bode well for the Olymics, does it?

Amongst other things, Jubilee was closed from Wembley Park to Stanmore,
the Met seemed to be shutdown altogether; Bakerloo from Wembley Central
ran the last train and left thousands of people milling about wondering
what to do next.

I'm pretty sure that LU will not schedule any maintenance work during
the Olympics.
And Met had "obstruction on the track" at Willesden Green, which was
very unfortunate in timing but was resolved relatively quickly.

They seemed to do an OK job on Saturday.

Scaffolding collapsed onto the track from a building site, all TFLs
fault of course ;-)

Well what were they meant to do with the Bakerloo line keep it open all
night?

On the other hand, Chiltern Railways were doing a phenomenal job getting the
crowds away from Wembley Stadium in both directions. Services from
Marylebone were enhanced by additional trains ex-Wembley Light Maintenance
Depot, where additional stock had been gathered, running in six and
seven-car formations to High Wycombe or Aylesbury, between the timetabled
services. Additionally, stock was being run into the turnback siding and
back into the up platform to provide additional seven-coach trains into
Marylebone. All very efficiently handled, with crowds segregated immediately
that they left the stadium approach road. I left the stadium at 22:05 and
was on a train heading north at 22:19. No complaints whatsoever.

Yep. To be fair, the Met problem seemed to be sorted pretty smartish.

That's your question, not mine. I'm asking what the "thousands of people
milling about" ended up doing to get home.

Well I answer my question by saying No.
