Early Heathrow T123 / Reduced Kenny O
Posted: 23 Nov 2022, 00:13
Hi all,
I've come across an issue which could cause a big problem to tube challenges in the future. Or at the very least, one which people might want to be aware of at the start of a day.
I'd always do Heathrow T4 to Amersham or Chesham in a bid to get 'on the board'. However, the last three times I have interchanged at Heathrow T123 to go to T5, the first train of the day has left early.
It now means that it can be potentially be 5:40 before you leave T5 for the last time, something which can potentially put a connection to one of the Kensington Olympia District Line trains in jeopardy. I might be wrong, and apologies if so, but I could have sworn there used to be four connections between Kenny O and Earls Court between 6am and 7am. Now it's down to three according to the District line timetable.
On each of the last three occasions, I've managed to get across from Barons Court to Kenny O in (just about) enough time to get the last District Line service of the hour. But it's obviously led to a bit of redoing in the area.
Anyway, just thought I'd flag. Thoughts welcome as always.

PS My last FNC timings were: 14/11 - 20:15:05 (Heathrow T4 to Chesham) and 15/11 - 20:08:27 (Heathrow T4 to Amersham). I won't be doing it again for a while!!!
