That's the fella! Thank you.
I take it that that's the only one in the timetable then? Shame. I'm
surprised I've never stumbled upon it before in all my years of commuting
out of Uxbridge, then twice in a week!

There used to be plenty of peak hour Uxbridge trains fast from Finchley
Road to Rayners Lane in 16 minutes.

Similarly Amershams fast from Finchley Road to Moor Park. (and Watfords
fast from Finchley Road to North Harrow)

This was when the "A" stock was, like me, in its prime, and capable of
doing 60mph+ on the non stop sections.

The 1145 Saturday Liverpool Street to Amersham was a favourite -
Finchley Road dep. 1206, next stop Moor Park arr. 1226
