new WTT62 8 January 2024

[Dstock7080]

All week:
The limit of trains starting and stabling at the west end of Northfields depot has been reduced further from 11 to 8 trains. This is in connection with PLU Piccadilly Line Upgrade works concerning the rebuilding of Northfields depot in readiness for the new fleet.

Monday to Fridays:
In order to provide operational flexibility in allowing for the routing of the first westbound train of the day from Acton Town to Heathrow to run via either the fast or local line, this train is now booked via the westbound local line so that traction current is booked to be switched on at the same time for both routes.
As a result of the further reduction to trains starting and stabling at the west end of Northfields Depot, the Uxbridge changeover train will now be provided by Cockfosters depot on Mondays-Thursday nights.

While the two RATs are converted back to passenger use, until 8 February TTN15/24 operates, which cancels T333 M-Th AM from Cockfosters depot and T360 M-Th PM from Northfields depot.
On Fridays AM T150 is cancelled from Northfields depot and Friday PM T360 from Cockfosters depot.

So where do the three trains displaced from Northfields west end spend their nights?

[Dstock7080]

still 26 starters from Northfields in both WTT61 and WTT62.
I can only find a difference of 2, moved from west to east departure.

The third is the Uxbridge out-stabler (347), now starting from Cockfosters Depot.

Has the new WTT been introduced as the TfL website is still showing WTT61?

[Dstock7080]

Yes, on specified date

I refuse to believe that the Picc is currently running to any timetable version at all. Current provisions on the Uxbridge branch seem to be 2tph, at any rate, because they all get mysteriously cancelled.

[PiccNT]

Having issues with trains that have flatted wheels or other defects preventing them from running, and the ongoing driver shortage. This morning's declaration was 40 trains cancelled.

Strangely, the First&Last times, available as content.tfl.gov.uk/fandl-pic-wtt-62.pdf
...reference WTT62

But tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/working-timetables
... is *still* showingg WTT61

[gefw]

I assume you mean 40 timetabled trips trips cancelled during the day - which I guess is something like 5 trains or 10 drivers missing.

[pwiklund]

Still no trace of the new WTT 62 posted on the TfL website (and also missing the Central TTN)... I'd be happy to e-mail them to ask, but I can't find an e-mail address anywhere...
