I'll open with Yerkes' Law as a suggestion. Any others?!

Yerkes' Second Law: Trains will only be held to regulate the service
at non-interchange stations.

I feel a serious document worthy of academic study coming on here.

Beck's Law: District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Trains come when waiting for
a Circle Line Train; Circle Line trains come when waiting for a
District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Train.


Earls Law: 'Olympia' 'Richmond' and 'Special' Trains shall come when
waiting at Earls Court for a Wimbledon train


The Acton Town Principle:

If waiting for a Rayners Lane train, the first three trains to arrive
will each be one of: Heathrow, Northfields, Ealing Broadway, Stops
Here, Special.

If waiting for an Ealing Broadway train, the first three trains to
arrive will each be one of: Heathrow, Northfields, Rayners Lane,
Ruislip, Uxbridge, Stops Here, Special.


If waiting for a Heathrow train (and even a Northfields train would
do!) the first two trains will be to Uxbridge and Rayners Lane.
