A bit of confusion here - the Met splits into fast and slow lines just south
of Wembely Park,

[...]

Since people are getting confused ... the following lists the lines from
north-east to south-west in each section:

* From Finchley Road to just south of Wembley Park - six tracks:
Southbound Metropolitan (no platform at some stations)
Southbound Jubilee
Northbound Jubilee
Northbound Metropolitan (no platform at some stations)
Up Chiltern
Down Chiltern

* Through Wembley Park - eight tracks
Southbound Metropolitan Fast [6]
Southbound Metropolitan Slow [5]
Southbound Jubilee [4]
Northbound Jubilee [3]
Northbound Metropolitan Slow [2]
Northbound Metropolitan Fast [1]
Up Chiltern (no platform)
Down Chiltern (no platform)
Platform numbers shown in brackets; 2-3 and 4-5 are island platforms.

* From north of Wembley Park to Harrow-on-the-Hill - six tracks:
Southbound Fast (no platform except at HotH)
Southbound Slow
Northbound Slow
Northbound Fast (no platform except at HotH)
Up Chiltern (no platform except at HotH)
Down Chiltern (no platform except at HotH)
The six tracks are platforms 6 to 1 in that order, grouped as three
island platforms. All four LU tracks south of Harrow-on-the-Hill connect
to both platforms in that direction and then to all three routes
(fast/slow/Uxbridge) to the north of it, but the Chiltern lines only
connect to the fast lines northwards (trains on the Northbound Fast can
also use platform 1).

* From north of Harrow-on-the-Hill to north of Moor Park - four tracks:
Southbound Slow
Northbound Slow
Southbound Fast (no platform except at Moor Park; used by Chiltern)
Northbound Fast (no platform except at Moor Park; used by Chiltern)

At Moor Park, the slow lines connect to both Watford and Rickmansworth,
but the fast lines only to Rickmansworth.
