If you restored the disused station as an early Yerkes station, used the
station and the second tunnel to Holborn as a Tube museum, and redeveloped
the parts of the station that were never used as larger tunnels with small
retail outlets (along the lines of an undeground Covent Garden) with a
second Strand entrance, then you might have enough passengers to restore the
lifts (although it would be shame to remove them). If it really took off,
you could even put platforms on the JL oveerun from CX to Aldwych!

Beack in the realms of reality, though, you're probably right in thinking
that it probably wouldn't be able to pay it's way.

Its not unrealistic. Thats exactly how the NYC Transit museum is set up. Its
based in an old disused subway station on a spur from the main line and in
the platforms they've got lots of old stock that you can wander around in.
Aldwych would be a squeeze but CX would be perfect for this (well , for showing
tube stock at any rate).
