Metropolitan Extending East.
Now that the Circle goes to Hammersmith, why even have the H&C? *TfL
can just extent the Uxbridge trains to Barking. *Edgware Rd to Baker
St will be Circle only. *That will simplify operations.
He also informed me of something I had not realised, namely, that
there are no longer any day time fast trains on the Met to Amersham
(or Chesham), only during the peaks and, even then, small in number.
Leaving the fast lines, north of Harrow, entirely for Chiltern use.
A timetable change that has gone down very badly amongst the well
healed in the Chilterns, about to have insult added to injury with HS2
wizzing across their gardens, which they can't use either.
