May 2017 WTT for the District Line

The printed and PDF versions are available for Staff so I would guess very soon on the website.

They've just replaced it, and a few other of the new ones, with the list and last trains notice?

I'm thinking the conversation may've gone something like this:

"hey guys heres the new last train timetables post them to the last train page"
"ok"
*posts to WTT page*

or they decided to remove them, which I doubt because they kept some...

If you're only interested in a narrow range of times, then you can use the journey planner to work out when direct trains to your destination leave Wimbledon. You can do this if you're interested in a broad range of times too but it's not particularly efficient.

Us drivers will often attempt to depart Wimbledon on time/in the right order even if we've arrived late/out of order - that of course may mean departing in a different order to that we arrived in.

The indicator boards, when they do decide to work, simply assume we're departing in the order we arrived in hence the passenger then see's anomolies. What also dosen't help is the passengers get no indication of the train's iminent departure, unless they're savvy enough to keep an eye on the starting signal so it all adds up to frustration.

Now the people in the office by platform 4 do have the ability to override the departure screens and thus show the correct departure order, but they get their information off the drivers so it really does depend on them being proactive enough to spot an issue and ask the drivers when they arrive what time they're departing........or drivers to pop over and let them know.

We are supposed to have an LU duty manager there during the weekday morning peak who has a list of the departures and is supposed to manage the whole thing but that is very much subject to them being available to staff it.

I have sometimes been sitting on the first indicated departure, and seen one, or occasionally two, trains depart before the one I am on. It adds only a few minutes to my arrival time at the other end when that happens, but even so I find it quite frustrating! Especially since most of the commuters would have been getting on "my" train as the indicated next departure, and it becomes particularly crowded. I had been assuming that the trains would depart in their timetabled sequence if they were at the platforms, hence my keenness to know the train numbers so that I could get on the correct "next" one. But it seems from the discussion that this is not always the case. Enlightening info, thanks all!

Still looking for units 21467/68 and 21547/48 previously posted in wrong board unable to find original post or an answer any help appreciated thanks
