You will only ever see NLL & WLL frequency increasing incrementally, up to
4, 6 or maybe 8 tph over overlapping sections of the line, because it is
also a goods line. When Ken talks about 'metro style frequencies' he seems
to mean better than 4 tph, which is when it is considered (by many) that you
don't need to worry about the timetable.

Indeed - what LO will become is probably something similar to
Merseyrail - decent quality, all stations staffed, good PIS, pretty
reliable (these days) but still only on 15-minute headways on the
branches.

I find that comment about timetables interesting, though; I personally
will wish to use one unless the frequency is better than every 5,
which on another note is why the lack of timetable information on
London bus routes gets right on my nerves.
