Is there a map or list available online anywhere that shows the typical journey time between each station?

The only place I know that the nominal times and distances are shown are in Working Time Tables - so maybe you could acquire a copy at some time!

Well, as far as Wimbleware is concerned, it omits Bayswater-Notting Hill Gate altogether! Allowing two minutes for that, and four for High St Ken to Earl's Court (a tricky one, I'd say three from EC to HSK is right, but going to EC depends on the crew relief there ;D) brings the Bayswater-East Putney journey back to the 20 miutes LT advertise IIRC. |

Cheers Colin!
With the aid of that I think I've been able to identify the locations of all the photos I took of the last D stock.

That link gives a 404 Not Found error.

I think this sort of information is generated from a user request on the website. So any link generated is probably not able to be linked permanently. If you go to: TfL/Getting Around/Timetablesyou can create a timetable like shown at Underground stations with frequencies, first/last trains and approximate journey times from that station... I think a product of this was what stuartpalmer might have been trying to link to... |

Thanks suncloud, you're spot on. I even tested the link after I posted it, but it must have still been valid within my browser session! I Agree it isn't now! I was thinking mainly of one of the frequency/journey time displays. I don't know whether the first/last trains are typical or include extra slack for waking up the passengers and sweeping up the drunks.

Thanks for these - you can get a typical off-peak journey time interval, which is exactly what I was after.

Why are maps still saying that no Piccadilly Line services operate between Uxbridge and Rayners Lane in the early morning? To me, that is a very, very small portion of the day  |

To me, that is a very, very small portion of the day I don't know for sure, but I would guess that it's because the first westbound train doesn't go through to Uxbridgre until 'some time' after the start of traffice and this is to 'persuade' passengers not to wait for a through service. |

I think the first Picc train from Uxbridge isn't until 0624, well it was when I was there a few weeks ago.

Eastbound, the Met from Uxbridge in the morning leaves at 05:12, the first Pic leaves at 05:17 (on both the current and next timetables) according to the TfL timetables page.
However, this is the only Piccadilly Line train before 6am, when they depart "about every 10 minutes" until 7am, after which they settle down to 4 per hour.
There are subsequent Mets at 05:25, 05:40 and 05:50, then "about every 8-10 minutes" between 6 and 7.
