I was on a train at Earl's Court earlier and the announcer was
advising anyone who wanted Olympia to walk as it would be quicker than waiting for the next train. Does this happen a lot? Why has the branch survived? Jonn |

Many passengers also enter and leave via the east, non exhibition side. MaxB |

There are only a few quieter stations anywhere else on the network, and certainly none as close to Central London as Olympia. There are around 400 entries and 400 exits during the AM peak (0700 to 1000) which, if divided between the 12 or so trains which run during this period, give around 30 per train, or 5 per carriage. Off peak, the numbers are lower. Roding Valley, Chigwell and Chesham are lower... any others? Cheers Steve M |

Is it quicker to walk from Earl's Court to Kensington Olympia or get
the District Line to West Brompton and London Overground to Olympia? Or even walk from Olympia to West Brompton and overground from there? I'm not sure how often overground trains go but I think West Brompton is a lot closer to Earl's Court than Olympia |

Cheers Steve- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I think, as has been suggested earlier, that use of the station has grown considerably in the last few years so the 2005/6 figures may be right, but are now out of date. No, Kenny O has some gates but is open most of the time; there is nothing on the east side, indeed the single Oyster reader, tucked away by the overbridge is easy to miss, perhaps to help catch people out and hope they get charged the maximum! Incidentally, is this the reason why Oyster readers are so small and painted an unobtrusive grey? Given how important they are to most travellers, they should be fluorescent orange! I walked from Eearls Court to KO on Tuesday morning, it took 14 minutes at a steady pace - crossing the main roads can slow you down however. It could be quicker to go to West Brompton and back - say 6 minutes if the connections are right - but it would depend on good luck or good timing. MaxB |

If these are the figures used then they could, in a few cases overstate exits and entries as anyone interchanging would be counted even though they don't actually leave the station. In some cases, at London Bridge for example, we sometimes count transfers between Eastern and Central, or at other locations we have done specific barrier counts, usually in 5 or 15 minute bands for the purposes of calculating passenger flows. Clearly a fully gated station should give you an ongoing idea of passenger numbes which "manual" checks should confirm. Even at fully barrier controlled stations, however, a lot of people with strange/non functioning tickets and special passes will be let through the gate by staff. Hence the need for a physical count from time to time. It should be pointed out that this is not an exact science - counting bobbing heads (or feet and dividing by 2) is not as easy as it might seem; but we do our best! MaxB |

I was surprised to see that the usage references for Kensington Olympia refer to 2006. Since then the London Overground has been added linking Clapham to Watford and particularly North West London to South West London. All this hard work has added a greater audience for the trains running to and from and through Kensington Olympia. With the plans for redevelopment of Earls Court, I think we can anticipate a greater usage of Olympia and greater demand for train services. I also think that is people were sure the service wouldn't be cut arbitrarily - which it is - there would be an even larger local audience for it
The proposal news item from LU/TfL announcing their plans to remove the week day service from December 2011 provides the distances to and from other local stations to Olympia - so you will be able to estimate how long it is to walk. As a regular user of the Kensignton Olympia District Line service I know that I will miss the week day service tremendously and particularly late at night, in the winter, when it is raining and when I am carry shopping or luggage. So pretty much all the time. Good luck with the walking, let me know which feels like the safest route. |
