A modest surplus is reasonable, but Tim seemed to think it would be

I think you and I agree that he was ignoring most of the operating
costs (manning the additional train and stations for 2-3 shifts,
cleaning and maintenance of the train, track and stations,
electricity, etc). Apart from at the new stations, won't there also
have to be LU staff at the shared NR stations, Watford Junction and
High St?

Why would you need two separate sets of staff at those stations? It
would be no different to the other shared stations between Queen's Park
and Harrow.
