Southbound Metropolitan trains affected at Baker Street

Hi all

In earlier blog, I wrote about Metropolitan line services being reduced due to platform works at Baker Street. This is to allow new S Stock trains to run at the station.

Well, it has been announced that from Monday (8 February) until 19 February, southbound Metropolitan line through services to Aldgate will not be stopping at Baker Street. The only Metropolitan line trains stopping at Baker Street will be all northbound services and all trains terminating at Baker Street.

It has also been announced from Transport for London that there will be several closures at stations north of Baker Street to prepare for the new S stock trains.

And, in addition to this, the line between Moorgate and Aldgate will be closed from 1-5 March to allow work to be taken at Aldgate for the new S stock trains.

It all seems to be happening quickly and fast! More coverage on this subject in future blogs.

[Update as of 10/02/2010 - Metropolitan line trains to and from Aldgate are now stopping at Baker Street - therefore the planned works mentioned above no longer apply.]
