Hooray!

That seems like a reasonable summary. Now, can someone explain succinctly
why the smaller 'National Rail' stations between Queens Park and Harrow &
Wealdstone, used by LU and LO, which were previously Silverlink-branded,
are now signed as LU (rather than LO) stations?

The name Bakerloo might have something to do with it. AIUI, the TfL strategy
is to make the Bakerloo the primary service provider for this section, if
not the whole way to Watford Jn. This may be linked in some way with the
Metropolitan Line Watford branch extension to Watford Jn.

The Bakerloo are the primary provider for this section and have been
for a while. A 7 car train every 10 mins (more in the peak and south
of Stonebridge Park) compared to a 3 car train every 20 mins for LO.
It was only when TfL took over responsibility for the stations that
they became Bakerloo line managed though and much of the kit is still
National Rail (like the ticket machines).
