The main problem seems to be that any capacity you gain by grade separating
Baker Street Jn, would be lost by the new conflicts at Moorgate, where all
terminating Mets have to cross over in front of westbound Circle/H&Cs.

The bit of the Metropolitan line east of Baker Street would seem to be a
lot less useful if it terminates at Moorgate instead of running through
Liverpool Street, as more people will have to change trains, so if
you're going to cut it back, why not cut it right back to Baker Street
to eliminate the conflicts at the junction there?

Mind you, I'd want *detailed* data on passenger flows before proposing
anything like that!
