Tube delays rose after December 2003 but have now fallen again back to Dec' '03 levels. This takes into account all claims, refunds awarded, reported delays, customer satisfaction rates, et cetera.
However, on the challenge, we hear increasingly of unsuccessful 'delayed' attempts.
Is this a possible explanation to incorporate both?
Geoff, quite a while ago now, hypothesised a time with the East London Line included. To my mind, this shows that route planning has come on a lot in the last few years. This means that one is less likely to have a flexible route and one is more likely to run into trouble.
For example:
In the good old/bad old days:
Your route goes Earl's Court Richmond Acton Town Heathrow Uxbridge Ickenham West Ruislip Wood Lane/Shepherd's Bush Hammersmith Zone 1.
Richmond branch is suspended when you get to Earl's Court.
Your route can be changed to Earl's Court Acton Town Heathrow Uxbridge Ickenham West Ruislip Wood Lane/Shepherd's Bush Hammersmith Richmond Zone 1.
Nowadays:
Your route goes Hammersmith Paddington Harrow Weald Preston Road Uxbridge Ickenham West Ruislip North Acton Ealing Broadway Acton Town Richmond Heathrow.
Richmond branch is suspended when you get to Ealing Broadway.
You are stuffed.
See my point?

Re: Delays, delays, delays
Today's record is so much tighter than it was 5 to 10 years ago . One 10 min delay will cost you the record these days where ten years ago you could be 30 mins down and still achieve a record. So with that said you can have only a third of the delays now and your record attempt is ruined.

I don't see your point at all.
Also, Wood Lane only opened in 2008.
