Allegedly, any "Circle Line" train terminating at Edgware Road will
offer a cross platform connection to an onward train, so in theory a
guaranteed step-free route will continue to exist.


How about if they turned the central through lines into bays, and filled
in (in practice, this means building a platform-level bridge) between the
two platforms at the eastern end? You could then walk between all four
platform faces.

You lose a bit of flexibility, but it would fit the proposed service
pattern much better.
