Would If they're served by the tube then there's no reason why TfL shouldn't cough up if the route is viable since they're getting ticket revenue from non london residents. Otherwise put the buffers at Harrow and let chiltern take over the rest of the line. I don't think the fare revenue from an Amersham Watford Junction shuttle would even cover the operating costs, let alone the capital cost of a couple of additional S8 trains. That's a strange meaning of "Operating costs" that doesn't include the costs of the stock Why is it strange? It's completely normal. Operating costs and capital costs are usually quoted separately for an asset. So, maintaining, cleaning and powering the stock are operating costs, but the lease costs represent a repayment of the capital to buy the trains. The latter is essentially fixed, even if the trains do no mileage. |
