Default North London Line blockade

With the forthcoming ten week bloclade of the North London line, I am
surprised that LO cannot offer a replacement bus from Wet Hampstead,
and other stations on the line, to Willesdan Jn, Instead they offer
bus to Queens Park and then train, adding another change of mode and
therefore delay.

I am further suprised that LO's timetable does not give any times for
the replacement buses. Would anyone like to guess how long West
Hampstead to Queen's Park might take?


I was handed a station-specific leaflet on my way out of the station
today. It includes a map of the bus stops, instructions on how best to
get to each of the other stations on the line, an elaborate map of all
alternative routes (including tube and normal buses), and journey
times for the replacement buses.

It only covers the Goblin, so I can't answer your question.

Well, I for example, get off and get the bus to Bushey, as I'd need to
get a bus either way, so I might as well have a cheaper ticket. The
price differential between Bushey and H&W is disproportionate IMHO,
given the bus that runs between them.

The London Midland trains are not affected. *They will continue to run
in and out of Euston.

Oh yes, I know. I though we were discussing why people were getting
off the AC services at Harrow rather than using the DC services. I was
just pointing out my minor contribution to the figures
