Why do some SB Met line trains drop crew off at Neasden, when they could just get off at Wembley Park and take a Jubilee line train? Granted its a weekend timetable, but nonetheless, when there is even more emphasis on getting trains on time it seems a bit strange to me? If the train is going to stop there, why not just let passengers alight there too?

Something which has been going on for years.

The line controller also authorises pick-ups/drop-offs during service disruption when drivers need to be retrieved from Neasden to pick-up elsewhere or dropped off to bring a train out of Neasden Depot. Regardless of the reason for any drop-off, having passengers alight at Neasden as a regular thing wouldn't happen, because you would need to do the same on the NB, which is not possible as there's no exit to the ticket hall. |
