3) unless he means Yerkes' amalgamation of the C&SLR and the CCE&HR in
1924, which may be a little long ago to be representative, there is no
occasion when "the service was run like this in the past and they
changed it to increase trains".

Even so, the pre-amalgamation service wasn't two separate routes as
being proposed, but both branches feeding the CX route and neither
feeding the Bank route! So I don't think it's *ever* been run like that
except as an emergency measure.
