Would it be possible/at all useful to add a curve connecting the Gospel Oak to Barking line (or Suffragette line now I guess) and the ECML, allowing a service to run between Barking Riverside and Queen’s Park? It would run as normal between Barking Riverside and Harringay Green Lanes, then divert onto the ECML, calling at Finsbury Park, run on to the North London line, calling at Camden Road, and then use the Primrose Hill link to run on to South Hampstead, Kilburn High Road and Queen’s Park.
This would allow the Queen’s Park to Watford Junction section to become fully Bakerloo line, and would also free up capacity at Euston for HS2. However, it would rob Kilburn High Road and South Hampstead of their link to central London (although Kilburn Park could be used in place of Kilburn High Road and Swiss Cottage instead of South Hampstead).
Sorry for the long read!
