Default LUL set to close Met line

Now that funding the LUL is being sorted out perhaps some planning for
the Met can take place. New trains will arrive (OK in a few years) and
perhaps they can further tweak the signals and service patter to make
things more reliable - why do so many trains go to Watford and Uxbridge
with a lot at times almost empty?


Part of the 'turn up and go' policy requires timetabling of services to

run
to all destinations every 10 minutes.


Well perhaps for obvious reasons, there is no 10 minute service to
Amersham! I just wonder if they could tweak it to spread the service
more evenly to Uxbridge, Watford and Amersham - or even introduce
services that start and stop at Harrow and Rickmansworth


But there is a train every 10 minutes from London to Amersham if you include
the 2 Chiltern services.
