Yup, that's near enough the route, apart from slightly different start
(Clapham Common) and end (Harrow-on-the-Hill) stations.


Oh! I'm surprised you didn't go via Marylebone then.


I do sometimes, but the stopping Chiltern trains are so infrequent that
it's usually better to use the Met, particularly if you catch a fast one.
Changing at Marylebone is at least five minutes slower than at Finchley
Road, which more than eats up the time saving from a faster journey.
