Not now they couldn’t, the Rainhams are in the way.

Could they terminate the Rainhams at Kentish Town or West Hampstead as there aren’t any Orpingtons off-peak?

A poor idea, now no direct trains off peak between any stations between Cricklewood and Radlett and anywhere north of St Albans.

you more than anyone across these forum threads rightly point out how much money the railways are costing so we need to solve that conundrum by doing things differently. Granted it would be very unwise to destabilise the TLK timetable as its pretty robust, despite other comments on other threads, but doesn't mean that we don't take up the challenge. Guess it upto government where they see overall train performance vs cost of running the service.
