Are they timetabled, or used as a last resort to recover from late running? On 14/02/2020 I saw one at Finchley Rd while waiting for an Uxbridge train to take me to Eastcote.

ruislip , Running via the Main Lines (Harrow-Moor Park) shaves off about 5 mins, non-stopping Wembley Park via the Fast lines cuts another 2 mins both seeing fairly liberal use should the service need to be reshuffled for whatever reason. One of the many timetable anomalies of this line which Dstock7080 eludes to is that several diagrams timed to cater for the weekday evening rush hour comfortably fall outside the peak fare times for their entire journey the last of these being T470 (Fast Chesham) which leaves Aldgate at 19:51.

It's a standard part of the Met's service recovery, particularly for late running Cheshams to ensure the integrity of paths at Chalfont. On the south in particular, anything over about five minutes (unless the whole service is late!) tends to get routed down the fast to try and get things back on time/in turn south of Wembley. An interesting anomaly on the topic of Fasts/Semis are the line diagrams inside the S stock: they all suggest that some southbound fasts stop at Wembley - in reality nothing is timetabled to do so, and indeed even ad-hoc diversions will generally run non-stop too. It only tends to happen when services are reversing via Neasden depot. |

re: Wembley Park, do late running trains travelling north also miss out Wembley Park?
Also, why do northbound semi-fast and fast trains call here when they skip this station when travelling south?
