Shouldn't Baker Street on the Met line be 100% as all trains either pass through or terminate?

What about heading West from Mile End for example. Many a time I have waited for H&C line train and it has just been a litany of district line trains mocking me as I wait.

Frank - you could say the same about various other ones; it's pretty clear the list is only going for final destinations such that they sum to 100%

Depending on the definition of “middle of a typical weekday” the timetables suggest that on the Jubilee there’s some terminators at North Greenwich instead of Stratford.

On the Jubilee line there are no North Greenwich terminators on a weekday between 11.30am and 2.45pm.

A bit of a technicality on the Jubilee North Greenwich terminators - they’re there...
i) after morning peak
ii) for a couple of hours before the evening peak
iii) for a little while after the evening peak
...to allow space at Stratford for trains to enter/exit Stratford Market depot (which is a pain to timetable !)

Victoria line surprising, as whenever this Walthamstow resident is running late on the way home I can guarantee a Seven Sisters train!

On the Victoria line, Seven Sisters trains are only timetabled between 9.50am and 11am, and after 7pm (as the peak service winds down and trains return to the depot at Northumberland Park).

And to answer the Mile End question...
There should be a train to Richmond, a train to Ealing Broadway and a H&C line train every 10 minutes. Trains to Wimbledon are every 20 minutes.
Fractionally, that's...
Richmond 2/7, Ealing Broadway 2/7, Wimbledon 1/7, H&C line 2/7

One more...
If you're on the Wimbledon branch of the District line, the off-peak destinations are:
Edgware Rd 50%, Tower Hill 25%, Barking 25%

dg, comparable details for the other multi-origin lines might be interesting.

The Northern line presumably depends on the sampling point (was it Camden Town perhaps?). I guess the branches in town have the same Northbound destination split.

I've tried to focus on trains rather than particular stations. So yes, the Northern line's much more complicated than that, but I like how simple the overall percentages are.

Came in here to ask the same North Greenwich / Seven Sisters queries as others (and to a lesser extent Golders Green / Colindale on the Northern Line), but can see you've already answered them!
Loving this week's Tube content.

I can't believe I'm the only reader to find the inconsistent use of percentages, fractions and "the rest equally split between..." rather grating.

Niggled me too, Huw, but I was trying to avoid imprecise percentages.
It amazed me how precise most of the percentages are.

That's a very high percentage (75%) of Met trains timetabled to run through to Aldgate off peak, a service which at times in the past has only run in peak hours.
For a period of time I worked in High St Ken, and did get grumpy that due to the splitting of the Circle Line I had no through trains past Edgware Road, whereas Met passengers from Uxbridge or Amersham went right through to the City!

Seeing as the westbound trains at Farringdon are split 50/50 between Hammersmith and the Met line destinations I feel very lucky that the Met line seems to appear more often on the Next Train Indicator boards.
The same also happens at Kings Cross - very rarely do I have to wait until a Hammersmith train has gone!
Waiting at Acton Town for a non-Heathrow train on the other hand ...!

I was wondering the other day who wins between Finsbury Park and Green Park. Obviously the Victoria Line but by how much?
Are there any blogs or vlogs out there with this classic race?
