A bit more information on the current situation blaming it on age though when they have literal 50 year old trains running with less problems is pushing it though although the 92s technology is effectively a one off . fb.watch/q70ohYgqgR/

The current problems with the 92 stock are because their heavy overhauls have been delayed.

That really does not look good if things don't improve can see branches being suspended with a core service only , Wonder if the 73s could run on the Central on a like for like as the 24stock comes not ideal but as a stop gap or even divert some of the 24s to the central have a mixed fleet although 73s are ageing but not in as bad nick as the 92s ? But according to this a new timetable is coming so should be more reliable www.instagram.com/reel/C3X1hLIN0ei/?igsh=MTR6YmlxZm5tbTIwNQ==

Yes as those first articles about the new timetable back at the tail end of 2019/early 2020 talked about the timetable being in place for about 3 years. 4 years on and the first refurbed trains aren't even in service yet. I do think a temp timetable is needed that takes things like the Hainault shuttle to every 30 mins and Ealing Broadway to even 15 mins with maybe a few more Loughton only trains.

If there is some kind of delay with the 24 stock we could end up with a similar situation with the Piccadilly where they prepared for the trains to be off the rails within the next 2-3 years.

Had to laugh when I read the new timetable will have ‘night tube levels of service’ during the day, quality journalism The timetable has been completed, I can assure you it isn’t 6tph through the core all day. 😂

The extremities of the Overground would love to get 6tph during the peak when on a normal timetable! Not a lot of sympathy here!

There was a plan to increase the Cheshunt/Enfield lines in frequency once the Elizabeth Line was open, since that has freed up platform capacity at Liverpool Street - is this still likely to happen? I think the Watford line is ok now since it has been increased to 4tph, though maybe more in the peaks would be useful? I think the outer end though would benefit more instead from a more frequent LNR service into Euston. Harrow & Wealdstone now has 4tph off-peak, ideally Bushey should get the same, and maybe 2tph re-introduced at Wembley Central? And more stopping at Harrow & Wealdstone in the peaks too. Also though more in Inner London, the East London Line was supposed to get a peak increase - but this depends on some 710s being introduced on the North London Line (which hasn't happened yet).

I have seen 710's used on the North London line twice this year. Once on the engineering work weekend. Once during the weekday

This is exactly it why does Epping or Debden need 6 trains an hour outside peaks 2 trains a hour would be fine , not ideal but it's not an ideal situation.
