Default Sudbury Hill (Harrow) lack of information

I suspect that this treatment of local London passengers is not
entirely down to any malicious reasons - I would point to
infrastructure constraints as the primary reason, closely followed by
lack of ridership, proximity to higher-frequency transport and
unsuitable journey opportunities - does anyone living at Northolt Park,
Sudbury Hill, Sudbury & Harrow Road or Wembley Stadium want to go
anywhere that can be reached from Marylebone or the Ruislips?

I do on Thursday (well actually it is King's Cross I need to get to but
if there were trains at the right time then via Marylebone would be
quicker). OK it is only occasionally more convenient for me (about 4-5
journeys a year) but I suspect there are some commuters who would find
it quicker than the Picc most days.
