Hi, greetings to all, first post here!
Does anyone know the reason for the timetable changes for the Amersham branch from 13th December, and in particular, why the 0733 Rickmansworth - Baker Street was withdrawn?

Well the timetables for the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City changed quite dramatically for the new Circle line, as all the lines are joined together and share tracks, the Met was altered as well to accomodate the changes. To be honest the Amersham off - peak service is not much different, just leaving Baker Street a minute or so later than they did before.
As for the 07:33 ex Rickmansworth, that is a good question and indeed many staff are thinking the same. That train was very useful and a very good part of the service in what is possibly the busiest time in the morning peak for London bound passengers. Hopefully with the May timetable changes, this (or a version of it) will reappear.

this train is unlikely to re-appear in May.
the May Met WTT (328) is all about moving some trains out of Neasden Depot (to aid the re-building works) and also to provide training paths for 'S' stock that are built into the timetable on a daily basis.
if a train in this path ever re-appears, Dec 10 is a more likely date

Wasn't the 07.33 Rky to BkS a fast service? I think it was often the first train to be cancelled if rolling stock could not be provided as well.

It was one of the last, if not the last train out in the morning and was frequently cancelled if stock was short. It was also a regular cancellation if there was any sort of disruption especially in the depot. |

What is the Boxing day service on the Met today? Is there a 20min service on the Rickmansworth and Uxbridge services or the normal 10min service. I know all trains are calling at Willesden Grn to cover the Jubilee line. The TfL site isn't working too well.

Baker Street - Uxbridge every 20' - 5 trains.
Baker Street -Rickmansworth every 20' - 6 trains.
Thus every 10' Baker Street - Harrow including, as you say, calling additionally at Willesden Green in lieu of the Jubilee.
