But most, if not all of these are stations with a terminal
facilitiy, so are not the same as the new T123 station
at all. The number of trains departing and arriving
each platform from Tooting Broadway, for example,
is exactly the same - the number that leave empty
in a southbound direction is equal to the number
that arrive empty on the Northbound platform.


Maybe you didn't get the message from M L Dickinson, but at Harlesden and
Stonebridge Park there are about 50% more trains to London than there are
from London. This is because the trains which terminate at Stonebridge Park
run empty from Willesden Junction, due to LU not having any staff to perform
the tipping-out duty at Stonebridge Park.


Why can't the driver do it they they do elsewhere on the system?
