Default Baker St.(Met) and Met operations

The decision has been taken that the Met stock will all be S8 when it's all
been delivered. As this is too long for the Chalfont bay it will no longer
be possible to run the Chesham service as a shuttle. If the Croxley Link
gets built there may be a case for operating say a Chesham to Watford
Junction service.


I completely understand and agree with the decision to have a uniform
S8 fleet...but I still don't buy the reasoning that it's more cost
effective to complicate the service pattern, reduce the service to
Amersham, pay for decommissioning the bay platform, and remove the 3-
track section than to move the set of points closest to the bay and
extend a concrete platform.

....here's hoping for the Croxley Link though...
