In the old days, Queen's Park was the last LT-managed station on the
route to Watford, which was firmly BR (and before that LMS) thereafter
all the way to Watford. The Bakerloo was the "guest".

When did LT ever manage Queens Park Station? All the time I have been
with LT it was either a BR operated station and then post franchising it
passed to Silverlink. Only at the time when Silverlink ceased and LOROL
took over did it transfer to LU operation and even then things like
ticketing remain on NR equipment and NR ticketing rules (the same
applies all the way up to Harrow, barring Willesden Junction which is
LOROL operated).

Happy to be corrected if LT did run it back from 1933 or whenever and it
then later passed to BR. I'd be surprised that LT would have ceded
ownership (and the revenue) if it had had any choice.


Queens Park certainly issued LTE tickets whereas the stations further on
had BR tickets.

ITYF Queens Park issued both BR and LT tickets. This appeared to cause
some adverse comment at my local BR station during a period when the
fare was a round number of shillings/5ps and some passengers were
occasionally issued with an LT station-of-origin ticket instead of the
correct Queens Park to destination ticket, presumably as the income
from the former was by default sent to LT.
