That has been considered, but it's frequently been knocked back as
demand into Euston is pretty high.

Are there any plans for some sort of regular scheduled service from the
NLL, say to Queens Park?

There were (to Watford/Harrow/Willesden depending on which bit of
official kite-flying was current) as a replacement for the DC line
service to Euston but that seems to have been dropped now. Queens Park
would probably not be a suitable location for reversing Down trains as
would not be Willesden if the bay platforms remained at 3 coaches long
when NLL trains were gaining a 4th coach. Re-opening Primrose Hill
would have more chance of success if it became twinned with Chalk Farm
as a two-location interchange but that would not make it a
like-for-like replacement for DC services to Euston.

Making Chalk Farm and Primrose Hill into an interchange would not be
difficult. The intermediate level tunnel at Chalk Farm could extend
under Chalk Farm Road on a curve. Steps and an elevator could rise to
the Primrose Hill platform.
