Aha, right that makes more sense - reversing a train at Kentish Town
sounded like a recipe for disaster, but it looks like that was never
on the agenda (was it?). And that explains why people have been saying
that these trains might head further north - they could I suppose
terminate at West Hampstead or Cricklewood, and indeed this might
arguably be preferable given the extra time required to tip out as
compared to a normal stop.


I'd go further and say that FCC/SER *should* terminate these services
at West Hampstead rather than Kentish Town as this would create an
interchange and, through it, new journey possibilities for Jubilee and
LO users.
