Question: If Met. trains were to commence stopping at new West
Hampstead platforms, should they cease to call at Finchley Road?

If the numbers of people entering/departing the Met. at Finchley Road
are comparatively small (rather than changing trains) then that would
seem to be a possibility. Other passenger flows to be considered would
be e.g. those changing to/from bus services.

Anyway, those entry/exit numbers in full (in MPax/yr):

Finchley Road 8.836
West Hampstead 6.892

I don't think that includes Met/Jub interchange at FR; it certainly
does include both Met and Jub passengers coming in and out there, and
it's impossible to know how many there are of each. Still, i'm
surprised FR is only two million higher than WH.

I'm a bit surprised by that - but bear in mind that whilst the numbers
at Finchley Road do not take into account Met/Jubbly interchange, at
West Hampstead the entry/exit figure include all of those who are
transferring from the Jubilee line to Thameslink and to the North London
Line (and vice versa), given that both of these are out-of- station
interchanges. And there's a good number of people who indeed do just
that (though I've no idea of an actual number or estimate).

Further numbers:

West Hampstead NLL 0.680
West Hampstead Thameslink 0.594

If every single passenger getting on or coming off the NR trains went via
the tube station, which i very strongly doubt, that's 1.274 MPax/yr of
interchange traffic, or 5.618 of non-interchange.
