I would suspect that it's a bit strained. Queen's Park and London Road
stabling points can only hold approximately 15-20 trains combined; if
you stable trains at Queen's Park SB road, Elephant & Castle NB road
and maybe a few others along the network, you might get 20-25.

ISTR that Bakerloo services south of Queen's Park tend to require
approx. 30 trains in the peaks.

Clive Feather would know for sure.

The Bakerloo is currently operating a reduced service of 18tph in the peaks
south of Queens Park. Allowing 70mins for a round trip including reversals
at both ends this would mean there were 21 trains in service.

Actually it's not the sort of thing I keep a record of.

The numbers should be in Underground News, and I know at least one
person reading this group keeps all his copies.

The Bakerloo has a maximum of 20 trains in service instead of 31 for the
whole line,
with trains running a reduced 5 minute service (4mins Peaks). Stepping back
of
train ops is taking place at both ends of the line during peaks with trains
reversing
via the north sheds at QPK with an operator at each end to reduce turn
around times
2 trains are outstabled at Ruislip Depot for any major failure changeovers.
Only 1 path
eachway per day is given but these havent been used as to my knowledge yet.
Both trains are due to return Mon 1st Nov at the following times

781 782
Ruislip Depot 0519 0536
Ruislip Stn 0539 0555
Rayners Lane 0545 0601
Harrow On The Hill 0550 0607
Neasden (pfm 3) 0558 0616
Finchley Road 0607 0625
Baker Street 0614 0632

An Extra train is kept also at QPK and it can be seen during the day from
the North Pfm
1 on 24 road in the North Sheds
A maximum of 10 could be stabled at QPK (including using both pfms). During
the works
8 are Plus the spare. Capacity at Elephant & Castle is 4 (2pfm 2sidings). 3
are at the mo. And 9 are being
stabled at London Road. Plus another spare.
