You wouldn't necessarily need cross platform transfers. After solving the Met/H&C problem, these could be tackled one by one. For all passengers, one journey is perfect, its the other which requires an interchange. Gloucester Road and Tower Hill would be easiest to convertOne interesting thing is that this scheme could cause some problems by unbalancing services. For example, two lines would offer a direct service from South Kensington to Hammersmith, but only one line would offer a direct service from Hammersmith to South Kensington. Also, someone travelling from the west to Oxford Circus would probably take the Bakerloo from Baker Street in the morning, but take the Victoria Line to Victoria in the evening. Another interesting thing is that the surface line interchanges need not be cross-platform as they will only be made in one direction. For example, at High Street Kensington, the only interchange would be from the North Circle trains to the Circle Line, so in theory it would be still be an easy interchange if it were two-level, as long as the lower level was the destination platform. |
