Yes, we know that, but in doing so it has to be taken to the line by road

You seem to have missed
1)The presence of a maintenance depot at Northumberland Park.

No!! Is it?? Who knew! Take a look at a map - its well south of the north
circular, never mind the M25 and on a very busy road.

2)The use of road transport for moving stock to/from LU depots on
other Underground lines.

Not always and it also prevents the stock easily being taken to Neasden
for major overhauls.
