Another bad week for Met Line travellers

Posted by Alan Hayes on Jan 25, 12 10:32 AM in Ruislip

TRAVELLERS on the Metropolitan line have suffered more delays, overcrowded trains and closures in the last week.

It was closed on Saturday and Sunday between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate for planned engineering works.

And then yesterday (Tuesday) there were delays and overcrowding because of signal failure at Baker Street, again during morning rush hour.

The 50-year-old trains on the line are in the process of being replaced but work to replace signals is not expected to be complete until 2018.

We'd like to hear from you.

I get the met line every single day to work. its disgraceful, TFL should be ashamed that they take 2200 a year for a season ticket and produce as much crap as they do.

I've taken 7 rush hour met line trains so far in 2012 (fortunately not a heavy tube user) and so far I have claimed refunds for 6 due to delays beyond 15 mins.

I entirely understand the frustration regular users have with this shambolic service, but be sure to really hit TFL where it hurts and claim your money back for every delayed journey.
