coming from mill hill and arriving at finchley central it takes about two

trains coming from barnet and edgware and going south never wait the couple
of minutes for all the people who get off the shuttle and who want to get on
the train continuing their journey going south.

is there any reason why the drivers cannot do this?

Probably because they don't want to delay the 500 people on the train
already to allow the 50 odd people who got off the MHE train to board.

And to be honest , if it takes you 2 minutes to walk over that bridge
you need to head off down a gym and get fitter. I would reckon 30 seconds
at most to cross it if you're in a hurry and if you run and didn't have
some old lady blocking the stairs you could probably do it in half that.
