Can't Watford Junction to Stratford be done entirely on DC? (There's a
dual-electrified stretch where the 313s normally switch to AC, but
presumably DC can still be used.)
(Not that there can possibly be a stock shortage. If there's enough
stock to run the normal Euston-Watford and NLL services, then there's
enough to run Euston-Watford as normal and Stratford to Willesden Jn
going via Primrose Hill instead of West Hampstead.)
