Having looked at the track access agreement, I rescind my earlier
comment about it's usefulness. It stops at nearly every bloody lamp

Some people want to travel from Tring to Balham. If you want to go to
Gatwick you need to change anyway, may as well be at Clapham if it
does save time. This service will get people for the Milton Keynes-
Harrow corridor, the Bletchley - Underground (at Shepherds Bush)

corridor, the WLL, and services in south london


Hopefully there should be enough Central Line capacity to cope with pax
using Shepherds Bush as a western version of Stratford...



With a good enough service it could relieve pressure on the Victoria
line from Euston for people heading to oxford circus.
