TfL (or LOROL) made a right pig's ear of the Christmas timetable on the B&GO:
The TfL journey planner was showing the normal weekday service interval of 20 minutes and flagging up "engineering work" (there was engineering work on the North London Line not affecting the B&GO)
The National Rail journey planner was showing the 20 minute service and a 30 minute service (not the one actually being run!) together - making a 10 minute interval here and there.
The service being run was (and will be) half hourly, leaving Barking at 8 and 38 minutes past - the timings from a few years ago.
I'm told the platform displays were wrong - I'm not sure about the announcements.
The daily e-mail from TfL mentioned the Overground twice: once to say a modified Saturday service was running and once to say a special timetable was running.
Thanks to the B&GO user group for printing out correct timetables and spending boxing day posting them at the stations.
This is really very rubbish. Everyone knows when Christmas is - THURSDAY 25 December 2008 is the next Christmas Day. TfL/LOROL have got nearly a year to plan AND PUBLICISE next year's timetable.
