The better solution would be to simplify the District Line.


Run the Hammersmith & City more west, and have it take over the branch to
Richmond.


That doesn't simplify the District Line. It complicates things. It may
simplify it on the map, but it complicates all the stations on the
shared bit of track in the bit beyond hammersmith; people now need to
work out which train it is they need to get if they want to go to
Victoria or the like. That's an inconvenience, that's a complication,
not a simplifying.
