Communters lament Richmond's exclusion from Tube improvements

Commuters are set to miss out on Transport for London’s (TfL) planned improvements to the District Line, it has been claimed.

TfL has proposed increasing the number of Wimbledon trains during the morning rush hour, providing capacity for more than 4,000 extra passengers from December this year. It also hoped to bring in another train to Ealing Broadway during the evening, benefiting more than 800 people.

But commuters in Richmond claimed TfL’s plans left them out in the cold and it desperately needed to improve their stretch of the District Line as well.
