Apart from where the Met line trains pass through the Jubilee Line stations where they run parallel in north London. I wondered are there any Met line trains that run fast, not stopping at certain met stations anymore.? I think there used to be a few faster services, but I am not sure if they still exist, or if all services stop at all stations now?.

I have heard too that the Piccadilly line trains will be calling all day now additionally at Turnham Green. At the moment there are non stop from Acton to Hammersmith. Although this is perhaps good for Turnham Green passengers, it will slow up the Picc line and it is always very crowded by the time the London Bound trains get there anyway. Seems a bit odd to start having extra calling points. Ideally it would be good if some Piccadilly trains could go non stop from Boston Manor or Osterley to Hammersmith, but that could not really happen with out extra track being laid and I don't think there is enough room to do that, or money available either for that. They could miss out Barons Court though.

In the morning and evening peaks, plus during periods of late-running, there are still some Fast and Semi-fast trains.

This will only be after the line is upgraded, so a long time away!
