If you think that a total of 4 tph from Amersham (including

Its either the *london* underground or it isn't. All this
who-pays-for- what over county boundaries that only matter to failed
wannabe politicians in town halls is just petty and pathetic. Last
time I looked Epping wasn't in london either , perhaps the central
line should be cut back to a skeleton service too?

AFAIK Epping Forest Council subsidises the frequent service.

If they're going
to run a metro service they should run a metro service , not pretend
its some country branch line.

Maybe LU should run every Metro in the world, all paid for by London
ratepayers?

Paris has a department for running other transport systems:
