Default Northern Line - again!

If you split into two lines then the obvious split is Edgware-Charing
X branch, Barnet-Bank Branch because that would mean there would be
no need for the trains to cross at Camden Town.

While some dislike changing trains, at least everyone will know which
Southbound platform to be on at Camden Town.

The driver did not answer why 5 consecutive trains ran through to
Edgware before one going through to the Barnet branch. This has also
often happened the other way.

Is there nobody there with intelligence who can re-direct one train
when that happens so you would have 2 to Edgware 1 to Barnet, 2 to
Edgware instead of 5 to Edgware.

How are the destinations decided and why does this "clumping" occur so
often?
