Tips

Be sure to pay attention to the Metropolitan/Chiltern lines between Preston Road and North Harrow as due to the tight timetables operated by London Underground there can be high congestion. Also pay particular attention to the calling points of services, some Metropolitan Line trains run non-stop between Wembley Park and Harrow-on-the-Hill, and/or Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor Park.

The platforms at some stations can be confusing. South Ruislip station has a bypass line which runs down the centre. Make sure any northbound Chiltern services set to call here are routed into correct platform (taking the turnout at Northolt Park Junction).
