....which I firmly disagree with. Though IIRC, they only said it would
be slightly more expensive to build than a normal station. Loading-
wise, the Victoria line as-is probably couldn't take the loads, true
(though a large chunk will be joining the Vic Line at Victoria
anyway), but once Chelney arrives it will be able to, and we'll wish
the line ran under Vauxhall with platform tunnels already excavated
waiting to be fitted out. Basic planning people - it's not rocket
science.
It's a transport network after all...what's the point if you aren't
going to build interchanges - it's like we're heading back to the
tubes as--built where interchange were a novelty as they didn't want
you using competing company's lines.
