Yes, but the Bakerloo trains cannot be blamed for making Silverlink
Metro trains late arriving at Hatch End from Watford.

Not only can they be blamed for it, they might well be the cause of
it. Short of building in huge layovers at Watford (which could cause
other problems if trains run punctually), it's a fact that a train
delayed on the outward journey may already be running late before it
even starts back.

However, I don't think that is the cause. The train which arrives at
Watford Junction is hardly ever the one which then sets off back to
Euston.

Since when was Heraclitus in charge of Silverlink, then? 8)
