Default Baker St.(Met) and Met operations

...
Do the platforms at Baker St. which are used by Met trains heading to/
from Aldgate ever get used for trains which terminate at Baker St.?
Are all the Met platforms at Baker St. used fairly intensively or is
there capacity for a train to be stabled out of use when defective or
as a stand-by?
Do trains stick to Aldgate or "non-Aldgate" services for most of the
day or do they interwork between the two?
What determines which diagrams will be allocated "A Stock" and which
"S Stock"?
Does the Chesham branch work better as a "through" service or should
it have been left as a shuttle?

At the moment the off peak services tend to be self contained.
Amersham/Chesham fast services (four per hour) tend to terminate in the
north bay at Baker St. The Watford services (six per hour) terminate in the
bay south of the through lines. The Uxbridge services (six per hour) run
through to Aldgate.

From December the off peak timetable is being rewritten. From memory there
will be eight trains per hour from Uxbridge and eight from Moor Park, the
latter split into four from Watford, two from Amersham and two from Chesham.
Some trains will run through to Aldgate (from all destinations) while others
will terminate at Baker Street. There will also be inter working between
routes.
