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.

Get on your bike and try the road route. I can't find anything about a
closure but I suspect a better question would be something on the
lines of "Why don't they run some trains via Primrose Hill to
compensate?" (assuming the NLL isn't closed east of Camden Road).

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?

Even longer in the rush hour.

NRE are no help; asked for St Albans to Kensington O via West
Hampstead they send me via East Croydon at nearly double the usual
fare!
