TfL Planned engineering work - week ending 16th May 2010
« on: May 13, 2010, 01:07:08 PM »
Hello all,

Please see the attached PDF document for details of TfL planned engineering work for the week ending 16th May 2010.

Anyone heading for Heathrow should leave home much earlier or opt for the Heathrow Express from Paddington as the District and Piccadilly lines are part suspended.

Note, for once, the DLR and the east end of the Jubilee line are both running!  ;D

Also, as a side note, the East London line has now reopened under the London Overground banner and operates between Dalston Junction and New Cross.  There are connections at Shadwell (DLR) and Canada Water (Jubilee line) which allow a much faster route north and south than previously available.  It is only running between 07:00 and 20:00, Monday to Friday at the moment but later this month a full early morning / late evening / seven day service will commence.  At the same time the line will be extended southwards to Croydon.

Regards - Glen.

Thanks. Do you know if the ELL will be fully operational (past 2000) by the next bank holiday weekend (29th May)?

Yes Roofdog, it should be.

The current plans are geared up to have a full service operating between Dalston Junction and Crystal Palace, New Cross and West Croydon from the 23rd May onwards.

I believe the service levels will be close to London Underground / DLR timings with trains as early as 05:30 until gone midnight.  The interval between trains will be around five minutes on the Surrey Quays to Dalston Junction stretch and about every fifteen minutes between Dalston Junction and the three southern terminus stations of Crystal Palace, New Cross and West Croydon.
