I suspect the truth of the matter is that Baron's Court is not
greatly used by westbound passengers, especially at weekends - and
Hammersmith is only a short walk away for those that do need the
tube.

Not the last time I used it, to get the Piccadilly to King's Cross from
Olympia 2.

I had a look yesterday (Saturday) and there were two people waiting on
the Picc westbound platform at 8.30am (and none on the District line
side). There was nobody at all waiting for any westbound service when
we came back through Baron's Court at 10.20pm.

Not very scientific, I know, but it is a pattern I have seen before at
weekends.

It was much busier than that when I used it (at least half a dozen waiting
passengers Eastbound). It has been as busy on other occasions when
changing trains. I used to use it regularly when I was at school but the
school moved.
