Chiltern services can only use the fast lines and unlike the fast Met services they do not stop at Moor Park. Is that a recent change? *ISTR that in earlier days, North of Harrow, BR trains, for the most part, stopped at the same stations as Metropolitan Line fasts. Which "earlier days" ? Before the 1960s there was only one pair of tracks from Harrow to Moor Park and BR trains did not stop at intermediate stations. Oh yes they did, as other posted has suggested, e.g. http://www.ephotozine.com/photo/1411606 David And the stopping services caused delays to late running GC Expresses in the 50s and earlier. Well, you learn something every day. Were they still doing local services immediately before the four-tracking was completed ? |
