Aldwych is near enough to Covent Garden to be redundant.

The nearest station to Aldwych is Temple.

But Temple doesn't substitute for Aldwych as far as passengers using
the Piccadilly Line are concerned.

However, there will be a fair number of passengers for whom using
Temple and avoiding the central section of the Picadilly Line
altogether is definitely an option; e.g. Thameslink commuters can
change at Blackfriars rather than St Pancras and from 2018 their Great
Northern brethren will be able to join them.

Quicker to take the Piccadilly to Holborn and walk.

After the Thameslink Programme is completed?

Similarly from West London it's an easy change onto the District line
and probably just as fast.

They wouldn't have doubled-back at Holborn anyway. Covent Garden and
walk.

Depends where in West London they are coming from.
