This was in the Metro taday and I think was in the Standard yesterday.
Just wondered what the Harrow-Rickmansworth stopping patterns refers
to. I know that all fast Met line trains have to cross over the slow
lines at Harrow on the Hill but I can't see what other bottleneck there
is.
It also describes Willesden as a bottleneck. What are they referring to
here?

Transport for London (TfL) is drawing up a plan for the railways to cope
with a rapidly expanding population. A version of the plan, seen by The
Times, states: "Without effective intervention the situation will
deteriorate . . . resulting in severe overcrowding across most of
London's rail corridors."

Rather worrying that they only just seemed to have grasped the
significance of this.
