Between Harrow and Moor Park the lines are paired by use, southern
pair are the fast lines, used by Amersham/ Chesham fasts, and by
Chiltern Railways Aylesbury trains, and the northern pair are used
by stopping trains to Watford (and occasionally Amersham). At least
at Northwood, the slow lines were new with new platforms, while the
original tracks became the fast lines, and the original down
platform was abandoned. The original up platform had a wall built
along its original platform face, and a new face built the other
side as the new down (slow) platform - Photo in 'London and its
Railways' by r Davies and M D Grant.

Thanks. That was the bit I wasn't sure about. How does the up (Met)
fast coming from North Harrow cross over the slows to get to the
north side of the formation in Harrow-on-the-Hill station? Is this
done as part of the flying junction arrangement for the Uxbridge line?
