In the old days, Queen's Park was the last LT-managed station on the
route to Watford, which was firmly BR (and before that LMS) thereafter
all the way to Watford. The Bakerloo was the "guest".
When did LT ever manage Queens Park Station? *All the time I have been
with LT it was either a BR operated station and then post franchising it
passed to Silverlink. Only at the time when Silverlink ceased and LOROL
took over did it transfer to LU operation and even then things like
ticketing remain on NR equipment and NR ticketing rules (the same
applies all the way up to Harrow, barring Willesden Junction which is
LOROL operated).
Happy to be corrected if LT did run it back from 1933 or whenever and it
then later passed to BR. I'd be surprised that LT would have ceded
ownership (and the revenue) if it had had any choice.

Absolutely right: thanks Paul. Too many late nights, I think.
Please delete Queen's Park in the original post and substitute Kilburn
Park.
Who owns the depot/reversing building at QP, though? I think it's the
only one on LU where service trains actually run through the middle of
it.
