Default Scope for Changing LU Route Linkings


"Sharon & Gordon Thomson" wrote in

Would it be totally impractical for all or most Met journeys to/from

Chesham
to run as through services to Baker Street as opposed to mainly a branch
shuttle with the odd peak-time run to Aldgate or wherever. Just seems a

bit
messy compared to most other lines which tend to provide through services

to
all their extremities.
Also would it not be feasible for Central Line trains serving Hainault to
run alternately clockwise/anticlockwise round the Hainault loop and back
towards the City?
Are there any changes to traditional route options on LU that might be

worth
doing even if the above two are hopeless non-starters?

In fact many Hainault trains continue to Woodford via Grange Hill etc, where
they reverse and go back the same way. This gives layover time to make up
late running, and a direct through service to central London from all
stations.
