Would it not be possible to even out the service at earls court? You
could have two trains at the platform, say one is to ealing, one to
richmond, let everyone swap over, and then release the trains.

What about the Wimbledon service ... and the Olympia service? There are
only two west-bound platforms at Earls Court, so you would risk
disrupting the other branches.

Also, the Richmond and Ealing services use the same track for several
miles beyond Earls Court ... so they couldn't be released together.
