I have always wanted to see how this worked (I know it was discontinued some time in 1964). The Winter 1961 Underground Guide had some examples which seemed to always be in play only during the peaks.
Ealing branch trains non-stopped Gloucester Rd and South Kensington.
Richmond branch trains non-stopped Barons Ct and West Kensington.
Wimbledon branch trains non-stopped West Brompton.
The few Hounlsow branch trains non-stopped Stamford Brook and Ravenscourt Park.
Was this the pattern they always followed?

I remember seeing the non stopping trains listed on the old destination boards many years ago, it would be long before 1961, but I never travelled on one, or saw one indicated.

When my fingers have recovered I'll type in the codes for District and Picc WTT 47 (6/5/46), last one issued with the 'old' codes and District and Picc WTT 77 (28/7/57), but it's a lot of work - and not one I want to rush into, especially as extracting the service information/correllating to the codes would take ages- WTTs are not particularly easy to read in this respect .
As said elsewhere by better and more eloquent authors this subject merits a volume on its own!

I've done a bit more digging - the last District and Picc to have non-stopping codes was WTT 90, inforce 11/10/65 - 16/10/66.
