Default Memo to Northern Line Controller

I've seen southbound train terminate at East Fincley often[1], but
I've never seen a southbound train terminate at Finchley Central.


I have, but only either in platform 1 or to then go into the siding.

A failure of equipment which makes the train unsutable for passenger
use between West Finchley and Finchley Central? At that point it's
probably better to run empty to the depot than run into the nearest
siding and try and fix it there.


See previous post.

[1] I go from Finchley to Archway, and as almost all southbound
trains at Finchley go at least that far, I usually ignore the
platform indicator. This means I get on the fisrt southbound train,
and occasionally change at East Finchley. I've done this perhaps
five or six times in the last year.


There's a scheduled one somewhere in the early evening; about 6pm, I
think.
