Surprised this hasn't come up on this forum yet. Not surprising though in view of the general belt-tightening.
There's reference in another report to frequency uplifts with the current stock in view of improved performance, availability, signalling and infrastructure improvements. I reckon with the upgraded turnback at West Hampstead, 6 tph could be turned there instead of Stanmore, potentially enabling 33 tph between WH and Stratford, at the expense of reducing from 30 to 27 tph between Stanmore and WH. Might be difficult in the evening peak though, with the necessity to turf out substantial numbers at WH; but the evening peak isn't as concentrated as morning, plenty of room for queuing at Canary Wharf, so 30 tph might continue to be OK in the evening.
As for the Northern, I personally will be glad if the projected total line separation doesn't happen any time soon...
