You'll never get planning permission for new stations in Highgate Village or Parliament Hill Fields because protesters will have a very strong argument that those are already well served by Highgate, Archway and Hampstead Heath stations. The Northern Line goes to Archway and does not connect with London Overground: hence Upper Holloway.
Not to mention the construction involved in building what would be very deep platforms at Highgate Village.
Why? Embankment station is a relatively simple change for Waterloo and Waterloo isn't that badly served by the Underground lines in any case.
Simply because if you were constructing it now that's what you'd (I'd) do, as a benefit to passengers so that they don't have to interchange. Come off at Aldgate or Tower Hill, past London Bridge and Waterloo then back up to St James's Park. How you do that with a sub-surface line rather than a deep-level tube line, I know not.
A five minute walk from Baker Street along Melcombe Street - indeed, Marylebone is roughly the same distance from Baker Street as Euston is from Euston Square. Almost as close as the distance between St Pancras (MML) and King's Cross St Pancras (Victoria line).
Fair enough, but very low down as a priority, even if there was unlimited money. I note that you are diminishing the value of the Circle line linking with Cannon Street and Charing Cross (and indeed with other places people want to go such as Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square). The purpose of the underground is not just to go to the mainline terminals, far from it.
If you were redoing it today, I suspect you'd position a single Circle Line station so one end accessed Baker Street and the other Marylebone.
Indeed, and we wouldn't have to worry about wayleaves and similar these days so we could swing the tunnel a touch further north at Euston as well.
If money was no object, presumably the Heathrow tunnels could be enlarged. S7s would be more suitable for airline passengers with luggage. You might also want to use the four track section off the line to Barons Court to miss some stations.
If money was no object, nobody would be forced to take a tedious and Underground service all the way to Heathrow
There is no advantage to attempting to incorporate the Waterloo & City or Moorgate lines in a new build line. It is beyond fantasy, a practical impossibility, and utterly pointless.I’d build a new tube line from Crystal Palace to Alexandra Palace, via Upper Sydenham, Lordship Lane, Honor Oak, Nunhead, Peckham, Camberwell, Elephant & Castle, Waterloo, Bank, then onto Moorgate up to Finsbury Park then partially fulfil the Northern Heights plan to Ally Pally,
Yes it’s ludicrous and expensive but it’ll have a great name: the Palace line
The one advantage might be to win London crayonista bingo!
Not sure why that would help, but you'll be happy with this sign near me!

A bit off-topic, but I suspect not much additional capacity is available. Morden-Kennington is already 28 (or 30?) tph at peek. 34~36 tph may be doable with better signalling and the split, but the capacity increase is not that large. The Victoria line has went from 28.5 tph to 36 tph since the introduction of the 2009 stock, so the capacity increase is comparable, but of course the Victoria line didn't see an extension.
Which is one of the reasons why Highgate station is a walk away....
Baker Street to Marylebone takes 5mins to walk.
Yup
Why?
