'Slow death' of west London if Tube service cut
End of services during the week from Kensington (Olympia) on the District line would be "disastrous" for the economy of west London, according to event organizers.
A consultation by Transport for London (TfL) to remove the service ends on Friday.
TfL has more trains could be used on the Wimbledon branch peak as a result.
Executives in the events sector in the UK wrote to London Underground (LU) Mike Brown, head for the prevention of impact.
TfL said 700,000 passengers used the District line every day, but only one percent used the Kensington (Olympia) branch.
"I call on Boris Johnson and TfL to see the economic importance of corporate events for West London's economy and do nothing that might threaten it. Otherwise, it could be the beginning of the slow death of London's Olympia."
Andy Center, CEO of CloserStill Media and signatory of the letter to Mike Brown at LU, said: "We know that closing the Tube link to Olympia will have a disastrous effect on our business, and will certainly make us consider whether to continue to use Olympia as a venue and also force us to reconsider where our business is based."
A TfL spokesperson said: "The weekday Olympia service is very lightly used.However, our proposal to remove the service mean that we could offer space to more than 4,000 extra passengers on the busiest branch of the District line, which is the branch of Wimbledon during the morning rush.
"The introduction of a schedule without the service in Olympia weeks would also mean that we could reduce delays in the rest of the District line. We also plan to operate special services to serve major events during the week on the site of Olympia."
The spokesperson said if the Olympia branch did close, passengers would be well served by local buses, the Overground and Southern trains as well as other Tube stations a short walk away.
