So an Edgware - CX train has managed to delay a Barnet - Bank train.


This is discussed in the Transport 2025 document as the recent they
want to split the line:

"Following the PPP Northern line upgrade, the line will operate 30tph on
the southern Morden to Kennington section, but the branches through
central London will be operating at only 22-25tph and will remain
crowded. The limit on capacity is the need to inter-work services to
different destinations via different branches."


Good cite.

This may also involve Kennington, though, where there's obviously a
slightly simpler kind of interference between the two central branches.
You could avoid it by turning *all* CX trains there, but passengers might
not be happy about this!
