Thanks again Ian, yes, let's hope they realise that Friday it has to be open longer.
Have updated the order - it was in modified by order (and I had edited some posts), now in created order, hope this works, I still need to fill in some gaps for posts that were added before I added the Posted By field, that should sort it!

I sometimes go skiing in MoE at 9 on Friday morning - best time IMHO. Guess I'll have to still go by car..... Let's hope this stupid restriction is just temporary - we know staff need rest and the cleaning and maintenance works have to be done but Friday is potentially the Metro's busiest day. To be shut a.m. is nonsense. Surely the Metro needs to be at least normal service 7 days if not full 24/7 ???? ( Mini admin point - previous posts in this thread don't seem to obey any order rule - check the times. Appreciate it's a work in progress but if posters don't flag up anomalies they might not get fixed.) Ian (don't think posted by field name is working either)

Thanks Marian for this wonderful site. Crazy indeed for the trains not running until 2pm on Fridays. Bad idea.

Agreed. It's odd. What about Friday shoppers, brunch eaters, tourists, etc. I suppose the idea is that the roads are freer so people then ought to take cars and taxis. But that's not on... It isn't only to reduce road traffic that we have a metro. It's also about convenience to the public. So half of Friday should not be exempted.
