Interchange at Queens Park with mainline services would also be a
considerably cheaper possibility (at least for the stations north of

...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.


Such a service should be an extension of the St Albans Flyer.
