Oh to be back in 1954, when the off-peak service at all stations
between Watford Jct and Queens Park was 8 tph - 4 Bakerloo, 4 LM.

But the mainline local "LM" service was 2tph if that, so it would have
carried substantial numbers of passengers from Watford and Harrow that
it now doesn't. The current service is far better for the vast majority
of passengers.

Much worse than that - Euston to Bletchley at 9.10, 10.50, 12.15, 1.40,
3.0, 4.15. Of these only the first and the last stopped at Harrow; 9.10,
12.15, 1.40 & 4.15 at Willesden Jct, the others non-stop to Watford.
Presumably not so many off-peak travellers from beyond Watford then.
