Default North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

Diverting the Watford LNWR DC lines to the Bakerloo will increase
capacity by using 7(albeit tube gauge) cars on the Watford London
corridor as opposed the 313/508 3 and 6 car mix For existing
passengers to Euston and beyond - changes at Baker Street for existing
Circle/Metroplitan transit passengers and Oxford Circus or Green Park
for almost every other tube interchange.

Paths will be freed from Camden Junction to Euston and then rebuilding
Euston platforms 9 and 10 in line with the overall rebuilding the
station could take place. The probable result would be fewer but
longer platforms at Euston more suited to 12 car outer surburban or
Pendolino operation.

NLL Termination on platform 1 at Queens Park in the southbound morning
peak to platform 4 in the northbound evening peak to facilitate cross
platforminterchange needs a facing crossover south of Queens Park but
personally I think non conflicting termination at Willesden DC bay
platform 2 is a better option - filling in the vacant space to allow
access/egress from both sides ala White City is better.


Terminating at WJ LL also allows those who got on the wrong train at
stations east of Camden Rd to recover the situation!

Is terminating at Queens Park to allow a full Bakerloo service beyond, as
currently a proportion of Bakerloo trains terminate there?
