Yes, we know — why do you think I worded my comment the way I did?

I have no idea. It was almost suggesting that efficient brakes were not

Happy to, even though it doesn't help answer the question as to why you

On a related note, does the Bakerloo still run passenger trains through its

It's not really much of a depot, just a covered reversing siding, and, yes,
all service trains have to run through it. I did so on Friday. The main
depot is at Stonebridge Park.
