Initially, TfL may substitute the current trains running the Euston -
Watford service (aged Class 313 and Class 508 trains) with some
(modified) stock cascaded from the Victoria line after that line receives
its new trains.


Tube trains running into Euston mainline station? Seriously? Who would
drive them, and how would the line be signalled and electrified?


'sweek' should have put Queens Park where he had Euston.

The Bakerloo line extension to Watford Junction is from Harrow and
Wealdstone, with fewer trains reversing at Queens Park. South of Queens Park
the existing Euston DC line service will be diverted through Primrose Hill
to form a NLR service to Stratford.

It's not my own text but a quote, but in essence it's right. It is the
stock that is qurrently running the Euston - Watford services that
would be replaced by Vic. stock, it just wouldn't run on that whole
route anymore.
