It's not practical to terminate the Overground service at Queen's Park
either though, due to the long single track sections either side of
the Bakerloo tunnel portal.

Willesden Junction on the other hand will give you all that plus
*direct* Overground services to Clapham, Richmond, and Barking.


Yeah, but to commuters want to go to any of those places? I'd think
any benefit analysis would come down on the side of improving the
journey time for the commuters switching to the Bakerloo to reach the
west end, which means Queen's Park.
