What i don't get is why the off-peak pattern runs all through trains to

layout, you could surely run all trains to CX, and have space to reverse
Banks? Since in the off-peak the Bank/CX demand ratio falls dramatically,
this would serve people much better.

Yes but in the eventual split Morden goes with the City, so preparing
people for the idea that Charing Cross is accessible only by interchange
is a good long term strategy for making the split acceptable. One can't
make a strong opposition case to the split on the basis of these
throughs being lost if they've already been lost.

Crafty!
