Chiltern services can only use the fast lines and unlike the fast Met
services they do not stop at Moor Park.


Is that a recent change? *ISTR that in earlier days, North of Harrow,
BR trains, for the most part, stopped at the same stations as
Metropolitan Line fasts.


Which "earlier days" ? Before the 1960s there was only one pair of
tracks from Harrow to Moor Park and BR trains did not stop at
intermediate stations.


The late 1960s thru the 1970s is the period to which I refer. That is
the period immediately following the closure of the GCML.
