I agree about the speed issue, and seemingly nonsensical signal hold-
ups.

Why, for example, is the Eastbound District Line ALWAYS held up as it
approaches Earl's Court - from either the Wimbledon branch or from
West Kensington? There is no flat junction obstructing either entry.
There are also 2 platforms at Earl's Court, and rarely if ever does a
train from Wimbledon go into platform1 or a train from West Ken. go to
platform 2 (can't remember even if there are cross-overs allowing
this).

There is no route from the Wimbledon branch to platform 1 (according to
current Quail), but there is from West Ken to P2.

But there is a route from Olympia to platform 1 (and 2). *There's a
train currently arriving Earl's Court at 0712, for example.

And I should have said one leaving Earls Court at 0702 and crossing
all routes on the flat (given that from High Street Ken it's only
possible to get to platform 4, a departure to Olympia has to block
every track at some point, except the one from Wimbledon to platform
2).
