Interchange at Queens Park with mainline services would also be a

...on services that don't really have any room for it.

Removing the Euston DC service would, just as it did last time, cause
unnecessary overcrowding on LM services south of Harrow/Watford.


The changes to the timetable could include a regular Watford - Euston
shuttle, relieving the longer distance services. Something which LM
obviously wish to run, but for which Network Rail are not playing
ball. A twenty minute frequency, 8 coach service calling Watford,
Bushey, Harrow, Queens Park and Euston would provide a lot more
capacity than the DC lines currently provide.

Quite a few of the Harrow passengers are changing to or from the
northern DC line stations anyway and you see a few who are doubling
back to Kenton etc. via Harrow.
