Euston to Camden (Charing Cross Branch) was very quiet a 08:50. My

had probably 6 passengers in total.

When the Northern line service resumes to all stations, it is planned to
operate two separate branches over the whole line until further notice:

- Edgware to Morden via Bank ONLY; and,
- High Barnet and Mill Hill East to Morden via Charing Cross ONLY.

Is this because the points are still damaged, or because they don't
know why
the train derailed ?

Not too sure, although it wouldn't take long to repair/replace the points.
The new timetable (85/03) will be in for some time - rumours are until
March. Starting on Sunday, the timetable gives a self-contained service as
you say, except that the CX service will terminate at Kennington:

The timetable is as follows:
Monday-Sunday
From start to close of traffic:
(the frequency and destination may vary slightly on the early start-up
trains)

Morden to Edgware v City - every 5 mins
Edgware to Morden v City - every 5 mins
Kennington NB to Barnet branch via CX - every 5 mins
Barnet branch SB to Kennington via CX - every 5 mins
to/from High Barnet 5, 5, 10, 5, 5, 10mins
to/from Mill Hill East - every 15 mins

The departure times past the hour are exactly the same throughout the day,
seven days a week, except that Sunday starts later and finishes earlier
(i.e. normal Sunday times). First and last train times remain the same.

The M-F and Sat timetable is exactly the same, with no timetabled M-F peak
service.

The maximum number of timetabled trains in service on any day is 50. This
is effectively from 06:33-00:04 M-F and 08:22-22:43 Sun.

Additional untimetabled trains will be put into service in the M-F peak
hours, thus giving a greater frequency.

Trains will be numbered:
1-36 - Edgware-Morden via Bank
101-106 - MH-Kennington v CX
151-166 - HB-Kennington v CX
