Default Why are Silverlink Metro trains NEVER on time ?

I'd suggest that it is more important to give Silverlink priority
given their lower service frequency. LUL, generally speaking, operate
a turn-up-and-go type service where few will refer to timetables, even
though they do exist.

The half-hourly Silverlink service isn't frequent enough for this, so
delaying a Bakerloo train a couple of minutes (or sending one off
early, for that matter) is less of a concern, and is probably
worthwhile overall to keep the Silverlink on time.
