No, because the Mets replace H&Cs.

asdf has a point - the current H&C service is only 8tph. If all
15tph Met go to Barking, then 7tph will have to be removed from the
District service - I imagine that demand for services along the
southern Circle is higher than for the northern Circle.


Surely, though, the situation with the Met will be much as now (unless
i've missed something).... the off-peak timetable only has the
Uxbridge services running through to Aldgate, so presumably those
(every 10 mins ?) would be the ones going to the H&C route to Barking,
whilst the Watford & Amersham services will continue to run only as
far as Baker Street.


That may be so, but the off-peak service pattern isn't the problem, it's
the peak one (although H&C and Circle services are pretty invariable
throughout the day).
