How does the Bakerloo line manage with Stonebridge Park depot being on
the wrong side of the line closure at Willesden Junc?

I would suspect that it's a bit strained. Queen's Park and London Road
stabling points can only hold approximately 15-20 trains combined; if
you stable trains at Queen's Park SB road, Elephant & Castle NB road
and maybe a few others along the network, you might get 20-25.

ISTR that Bakerloo services south of Queen's Park tend to require
approx. 30 trains in the peaks.

Clive Feather would know for sure.

The Bakerloo is currently operating a reduced service of 18tph in the peaks
south of Queens Park. Allowing 70mins for a round trip including reversals
at both ends this would mean there were 21 trains in service.
