Default Northern Line worry

Just a passer-by curious Hong-Konger's words:

I am always curious about why there's no lines like "Hyper Outer Circle"
nowadays. Maybe linking up Finchley, Hendon, Neasden and reaching
Willesden may be a funny idea after all.


Are you suggesting something like the Circle Line in Zones 3 and 4?

Even though such a line would be completely impossible to do, I could
see it running in a complete circle around London, starting at
Richmond and passing through Wimbledon, Vauxhall, Surrey Quays,
Mudchute, Canning Town, Barking, Leytonstone, Walthamstow Central,
Wood Green, East Finchley, Brent Cross, Wembley Park, South Kenton,
Alperton, and Hounslow Central, and eventually returning to Richmond.

But it would be almost impossible to do.

Are you seriously suggesting that no-one living on the Edgware branch

wants
to go to the West End, and that those on the High Barnet branch only

want to
go to the City?


People don't arrange their lives around the through running of the

Northern
Line.

Yebbut some of us learned to use the Vic Line to Oxford Circus after
changing from Euston (Bank Branch). This is by far the quickest way to
town from here (Burnt Oak)

I'm not that far from the Jubilee Line, which I can use to go to Bond

Street.

People do learn other ways round the system, even if they do not move
house. I still want my Charing Cross trains though...
