If you're planning to detrain a southbound service at Finchley
Central and run it empty to Highgate depot, why not let it continue
in service to East Finchley and detrain it there? That way you won't
hold up all the following trains while the driver walks all the way
down to the back and then to the front again.

Or is there a logical explanation for this instruction?

But how would going one extra stop and then detraining avoid any
hold up? It would just mean the hold up would be delayed by a couple of
minutes.

Why do I think someone doesn't know the track layout at East Finchley?
