Default Sudbury Hill (Harrow) lack of information

It may also be because transferring the entire commuter load from
the Picc onto the Chiltern service would not be that practical.


It's impratical mainly because of infrastructure constraints - pathing
over the link line from Neasden South Junction to Northolt Junction is
very tight, with the various stoppers/semis and fast trains from
Stratford and Birmingham all competing for track space. A decent
service can only be had by restoring the through lines at at least one
of the original stations along the stretch.

If the infrastructure were available, running a more intensive stopping
service would only depend on ridership.


I see, so the reason for the lack of information is that they need to
keep it a secret, lest too many people try to use it!
