new temporary timetable TTN88/23 5 June 2023

[Dstock7080]

(seems that the Central Line has joined the elite!)

Due to long term train cancellations, the following temporary service arrangements will apply and supersede Working Timetable 70, until further notice.
6 trains have been withdrawn from the weekday timetable of WTT70. This is comprised of 3 trains which operate throughout the traffic day and 3 trains which operate in the AM peak only.
2 out of the 6 trains are cancelled from after the PM peak to close of traffic.
Existing trains have been rescheduled to minimise the impact of wide intervals that have opened up from the cancelled train paths. However some wider than usual intervals will remain in certain parts of the timetable, due to pathing constraints. Intervals are to be regulated and services adjusted where necessary.
In consequence of the re-allocation of Signalling Trip numbers and Routeing information, the whole Timetable is published in this notice.

Trains withdrawn:
M-F 50, 101, 112, 123 (AM peak), 144 (AM peak), 145 (AM peak) all Hainault depot

Trains in service: WTT70 M-F peak: 77; TTN88/23 M-F peak: 71

There I was thinking this would be just a Jubilee Line issue due to train defects. Wonder if we will soon see this on the Circle and H&C lines that seem to suffer from "train cancellations"

I wonder what the underlying cause for the Central line? Driver shortage, train shortage due to the long running Central Line Improvement Project or just constant major train defects?

Thanks

CLIP has removed 5 trains from Central service, the first of these were due to be rotated and back in service by now.
H&C, Circle are mostly driver shortage.
