In the 1990s some limited services were changed to all day services, I am thinking of Whitechapel to Barking, Rayners Lane to Uxbridge and the Olympia shuttle. Does anyone know if all all three were changed at the same time?

I know that the Picc services increased with the the start of WTT 31 (22/7/96); I'll have a look in the WTT library when I get home at the District ones of similar or even date.

Wasn't Rayners > Uxbridge independent (in advance of) of the other two? I seem to recall that in the past there have been tinkerings with extensions to Uxbridge, with Saturday shopping hours included at one stage.

I seem to recall that in the past there have been tinkerings with extensions to Uxbridge, with Saturday shopping hours included at one stage. May 1959--Mon-Fri off peak Piccies were curtailed to Rayners. October 1967--All day Sunday and late night Mon-Fri Uxbridge running withdrawn November 1970--Saturday running to Uxbridge ceased mid-afternoon September 1974--For the next 22 years, Piccadilly line trains only served Uxbridge in the Mon-Fri peaks. |

Olympia shuttle added to WTT galley (as opposed to separate sheets at the back or by TTN) in District WTT 125, (28/9/97). Circle and Hammersmith WTT 8 (2/6/96) has a comment that the Plaistow/Barking service was extended by an hour.
