I was thinking about what a wasted resource the DC lines from Queens
Park to Euston are. A twin track railway to the edge of Central
London with only 3tph. But what to do with it?-

Surely the real pressure is to turf the suburban services out to
provide

more mainline and HS2 capacity?

Colin Rosenstiel-

Is diverting the service away from Euston via Camden Road
to wherever a feasible option?-

Wouldn't it be easier to simply replace the LO service to Watford
Junction with the Bakerloo? It might have to wait till the Bakerloo
gets new stock in a few years time, of course.

Certainly it would be simpler but would it be practicable?
I assume the Bakerloo Line is as overcrowded during rush
hour as any other Underground service. Would adding to it
the people who currently travel on the Overground service to
Euston be workable?

I thought the Bakerloo was the least (over) crowded of the LU lines?

We came back to the beginning of this thread: the DC lines to
Euston are an under-utilised asset. Abandoning the service does
address that issue.

I assume you meant "does NOT address"? That's true, but it does free up
the LO Euston platforms for other services. On the other hand, a more
intensive LO service to make better use of the track pair would need more
Euston platforms, which will be in short supply during the HS2 rebuilding.
