Service Distribution To Terminal Points
 
At one time certain stretches of London Underground used by services with
several potemtial terminating points seemed to give a poor spread of
departures to each terminal. For example on the District/Circle Eastbound
you sometimes got 3 Upminsters in succession before a Circle. Are there
currently any bits of LU which regularly provide a very erratic distribution
of departures to different branches or terminals?

Well if you consider that off-peak there are 18 Districts and 7.5 Circles
per hour it is hardly suprising if there are 3 Districts in a row.

I kind of remember being ****ed off at the number of Uxbridge services v.
Watford serevices on the Met some years back. Has that improved? I have
been out of the UK for nearly three years but the bitter pill of crappy
Watford service still stings!
