Personally I dont see why the Met line has to run to Barking?


Because at the moment, the Met trains empty out in one direction and
fill up in the other. It's better to have them filling up with new
people as the old ones get out.


And by swapping the eastern destinations of the Met and H&C, exactly
the same thing happens with the H&C...


But the Met east of Baker Street has 120 carriages per peak hour, whereas
the H&C has something like 48 carriages per peak hour.
