High stations include all those stations eligible for use in a
Hills and Valleys cascade, such as Harrow-on-the-Hill, Tower Hill, Mill Hill East, High Barnet,
Kensal Rise and, traditionally, Swiss Cottage. Reaching a high station requires a high
line velocity, a significant proportion of which will be at least temporarily lost. Conversely, leaving such a station gives a similarly large LV boost.
Dollis Hill, of course, carries a large number of additional tactical considerations that are unique to it.
