The philosophy of "we don't need to stop the Chilterns there because

that One don't go along with that philosophy, or they would provide a
skeleton service at all Tottenham Hale, Seven Sisters and Walthamstow
Central. Brent Council are very keen on getting a better service at
all four Chiltern stations, but Chiltern aren't interested.


Are you sure about that? The usual reason given is that the pathing of
their semi-fast and express services over the Neasden-Northolt section
is too difficult if a number of stoppers were thrown in.

If quadruple track were restored at one of the stations on the stretch,
it may make the pathing easier.
