To be fair, they do have some London commuter stations
that they don't give a toss about.

Despite what Barry Doe continually bleats, there is little or no commercial
justification for the existence of the Sudburys and stopping at them
interferes with the running of fast services. Even TfL show little interest
in them. If TfL were seriously concerned about services for that part of
North West London they should consider funding the re-creation of platform
loops, to allow stoppers to be overtaken by fast trains.

Taking a c2c analogy, it would be like stopping services at both Limehouse
and a station in the vicinity of Gas Factory Junction - the difference being
that Limehouse does actually generate some useful revenue!
