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.

Oh yes they did, as other posted has suggested, e.g.

And the stopping services caused delays to late running GC Expresses
in the 50s and earlier.

Well, you learn something every day. Were they still doing local
services immediately before the four-tracking was completed ?
