Met line reliability these days
 

Got to get to Harrow on the Hill, Tuesday evening and Journey Planner
says 12 mins for the Met Line from Finchley Road to Harrow on the
Hill.
How much should I add to get a realistic figure?
Many thanks

Most of the time, that's perfectly realistic. Fast (typically Amersham) &
semi-fast (typically Watford) trains will, of course, be considerably
quicker on that stretch than all stations (typically Uxbridge), since
they don't stop at the intermediate stations except for some at Wembley
Park.

Depends what time of the evening, IMX. At around 5-6pm it's very fast,
frequent, and reliable. However, after around 6pm, reliability
plummets, (relatively) large gaps appear in the service, everything
starts stopping at Wembley Park, and many of the Watford trains become
all-stations, so I'd allow at least an extra 7 minutes.
