I never really got the rationalle behind cutting the bakerloo back to
harrow.
It was actually cut back to Queen's Park and only extended north of there
when Stonebridge Park Depot was built.
There's obviously a commuter demand for it (hence LO) and it wasn't
even the longest tube line when it did run there so its not as if it
was going miles.
The Bakerloo only had a limited peak hour service (to access Croxley
Green Depot) long before even that was withdrawn.
IMHO it makes more sense to run the Bakerloo to Watford than the
Overground.
Why do you say that?
It is very much within the London conurbation, and ones suspects most
users would prefer a direct rapid transit train to the West End and
Docklands than a suburban train to a terminus. Just my USD0.02.
