Default New Met line timetables

Has anyone managed to get hold of or seen the new timetable for
Amersham/Chesham Met Line which starts on the 23rd of May?

As normal the new Chiltern line one is available both on line and from
stations, while the nearest I have seen of the underground version is a
sign stuck on the (normally closed) ticket office at Amersham that
states "no new timetables" The TFL website still has the current version
only for download.

If anyone has one of the new ones could you do a quick run down of the
southbound weekday times from Amersham between 7- 8 am for me please.

But a printed timetable in your pocket / briefcase / handbag / shoe is a lot
easier to refer to than a wedge of A4 paper when you are stuck on a station
platform that has no public 'phone, let alone internet access - and there's
no staff to ask, and as the OP states - the displayed timetables are out of
date or non-existant.

So I leave work maybe 2 hours later than normal, get stuck on the
Bakerloo line for 10 - 15 mins due to fire alert at Oxford Circus and
have to decide at Regents Park if I should go to Marylebone and get a
Chiltern line or get off at Baker Street and get a Met line.

Is this where I get out my non-existent laptop and log on to LUL's
non-existent WiFi network to use the journey planner?

Metropolitan Line timetables are occasionally placed in the racks at
Baker Street station. In case you are wondering, there weren't any there
today.
