Does this happen a lot? Why has the branch survived?

No - and because a hell of a lot of people use it.

Only when there is a big exhibition on. Most of the time the trains are

Not true, I was actually there counting passengers on Tuesday and I
have to say I was most surprised at the numbers using both tube and
Overground. Many passengers also enter and leave via the east, non
exhibition side.
