Oh to be back in 1954, when the off-peak service at all stations
between Watford Jct and Queens Park was 8 tph - 4 Bakerloo, 4 LM.

But the mainline local "LM" service was 2tph if that, so it would have
carried substantial numbers of passengers from Watford and Harrow that
it now doesn't. The current service is far better for the vast majority
of passengers.

Much worse than that - Euston to Bletchley at 9.10, 10.50, 12.15, 1.40,
3.0, 4.15. Of these only the first and the last stopped at Harrow; 9.10,
12.15, 1.40 & 4.15 at Willesden Jct, the others non-stop to Watford.
Presumably not so many off-peak travellers from beyond Watford then.

No evening service? I found a 1910ish timetable online that did have one.

I was only referring to the day-time off-peak. In fact things get better
towards the end of the day. Later trains from Euston (all stopping at
Watford Jct) we

4.56 (Tring); 5.06 (calling also Bushey); 5.20 (non-stop
Watford-Leighton Buzzard); 5.25 (also Harrow); 5.22 (Broad St to Tring,
also Harrow & Bushey); 5.43; 6.7 (Broad St to Tring, also Harrow &
Bushey); 6.12 (also Bushey); 7.12; 8.12 (Tring); 9.0; 9.55; 11.10 (also
Bushey); 11.56.

This is the 20th September 1954 until further notice BR(LM) timetable.
Time forbids my checking April 1910 and July 1922 Bradshaw facsimiles!
