OK I lied, as far as I know they don't have any plans to close it, but
they might as well based on it's pathetic performance over the last
week.

I have tried to use it from Amersham 4 days out of the last 7 with the
following results:
No Morning peak service both ways north of Moor Park for 2 of the days.
(In fact on 1 day there was no southbound service until 14:00!)

Detrained at Harrow on the Hill on the other 2 mornings to scenes of
total chaos. This was due to multiple signal failures at Finchley Road,
Baker St, Farringdon (surely the most often U/S signal on the network)
and the City.

Return journeys were just as bad with no service North of Moor Park on 2
nights and Ealing comedy type farce on the 3rd. This last one took the
form of running only Uxbridge bound trains north of Baker St and
advising Amersham Passengers to change at Wembley Park where the
Amersham trains would be starting from. Needless to say the station
staff at Wembley knew nothing about this and swore blind this was not
the case, the dot matrix displays also only showed Uxbridge trains.
While the station staff tried to find out any details an empty Amersham
bound train sailed into the other side of the station. This then
triggered a large amount of very ****ed off people to run up one flight
of stairs across the station and down another flight of stairs. The 1st
bunch of people mainly young and fit then held the doors until all the
other passengers could board it.

Why is it that LUL, LT, TFL or whatever name is being used this month is
TOTALLY incapable of the most simple form of internal communication.
All the station staff at Wembley had mobile phones, it would have taken
30 secs for whoever made the announcement at Baker St to call one of
those phones during the 15 mins it took the train to get there. As
always this did not happen.

The above is only a part of the chaos I have seen over the last week but
I think you get the idea by now.
