North of the Thames,
trains leave Highbury and Islington (also Canonbury) for Clapham
Junction in opposite directions; some are at identical departure times
(so you can choose the wrong platform rather than the wrong station).


They take pretty well the same time, don't they?


Yes, 46 & 47 minutes; but there are twice as many via Canada Water.
The ones via Willesden Junction are only 2tph.

At both ends, when there are trains leaving almost together, they are 2
minutes apart. However, the clockwise ones are to Stratford, and the
anti-clockwise Highbury.
