Can passengers obtain a copy of the Met Timetable? If so where can it be obtained from?

From me for £4.50!
No, seriously, I don't know if they do them anymore. I remember seeing them a long time ago on the Met, but during all the cutbacks over the years, I think they stopped producing them. Someone on here may well prove me wrong, but I can't say that I've seen any in recent years. Most stations now have a poster with train times displayed on it.

Done... as long as it also tells me when my train is going to terminate at Harrow instead of going to (at least) Baker Street  |

Would you believe it, I've just this minute run out of crystal balls! ;D
Joking aside, it's not that we deliberately try to mess people around but detraining at Harrow and sending a train off to depot eases the bottleneck from Wembley Park to Baker Street. A five minute delay and change of train at Harrow, could save you 15 minutes in the long run.

Will wait and see if others know if the timetable is available  |

The timetable for the Amersham/Chesham service is available at www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/1129.aspx . You can also put in a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the full working timetable. |

There are a few changes to the Amersham service. Trains leave a minute later off peak from Baker Street, and the 1601 and 1611 now stop at Wembley Park  |

You can also put in a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the full working timetable. Bit extreme surely? Admittedly it might get you "a" working timetable, but even if it was the most up-to-date, will it really tell you any more than the public one will? Not really. If you want the blanks filling in, then myself or my learned colleague (above) and certain others here can help for the suitable furnishing of our palms with silver. P.s. I'll undercut my colleague. £4.49. |

As for Wembley, I can only apologise. As stated in the other thread, we should be non-stop to Harrow at least. Tube line passenger influence I'm afraid ;D |

The working timetable does show times for the Uxbridge and Watford branches, as well as times for the local stations between Wembley and Harrow and between Harrow and Moor Park. |
