Could be interesting, given the LU/NR maintenance boundaries are currently between Amersham and Great Missenden (I believe it's marked by a foot crossing in the vicinity of Weedonhill Wood, rather than the oft-quoted Mantles Wood) and just South of Harrow-on-the-Hill, though rules boundaries are Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill stations.
There are absolutely non electrified sections of track on LUL's turf at both ends of the Met. Dunno how easy it would be to get maintenance boundaries moved to enable OHLE to encroach right up to the DC tracks.
I'm sure people here can tell me what the compatibility issues are with DC electrification. London Underground use a 4th rail system, network rail tends to prefer 3rd rail. Will a NR train going onto that system need bespoke shoegear or can 3rd rail systems be adapted to work?
