Does anyone know if there will be any major changes to the Met service patterns through Wembley Park, once the platform closures are finished?
I'm mainly curious to know if platforms 1 and 6 will see a greater proportion of trains stopping on them, or whether or not the existing off-peak stopping pattern will continue to be used.

I don't think there will be much changes to the Met service at Wembley Park, Platforms 1 and 6 provide poor interchange with Met local and Jubilee services, I would imagine most Met trains will still serve platforms 2 and 5.

If the Southbound fast trains use platform 5 they will need to use the slow lines South of Harrow.

WTT318 (the last timetable before the Wembley work started) saw the off peak fast trains revert to the SB fast line. Ironic really since the given explanation for diverting them down the local in the first place was to facilitate the reconstruction of Wembley Park station.

Using the information I have at present:
Working Timetable 319 begins on 29th May (or really on Tuesday 31st May, Sunday having engineering work and Monday being a Bank Holiday). The service pattern will be back to "normal" with fasts using platforms 1 & 6 and locals using 2 & 5.
The frequencies will be much the same as they are now, except that off-peak, all trains to/from Watford and Uxbridge will run via the local lines. The peak will have minor enhancements, mainly timing "tweaks" here and there. New timetables on the Picc and Jub will add to these "tweaks."

Both the Uxbridge and Watford services will be all-stations?
That sounds pretty dumb - all-stations Uxbridge, semifast Watford and fast Amersham sounded better.
Of course, semifast Uxbridge (non-stop through West Harrow) and fast Watford (see Harsig's threads elsewhere) would probably be just as nice for the users of the Met ;D
