"replace the trains people are currently changing from at Brixton with the Victoria Line.""According to the stats file, Brixton main line station has very low ridership;" Exactly. The loading of the Victoria Line at Brixton is *not* from people transferring from national rail services at Brixton. It's more likely people transferring from buses, plus those just walkibng to Brixton tube station. Extending the Victoria Line *would* put more people on to it; the question is whether most of those people would be transfers from the national rail lines going into Victoria, who therefore would not be overcrowding Victoria tube station so much. The big transfer load on to the Victoria Line (southern end) comes on at Stockwell, with its cross-platform interchange with the Northern Line - people from the Morden direction wanting destinations in the heart of the West End, further west than Charing Cross and Leicester Square. |
