Though
looks like there are 4 in the way, not 2. Even so, still irrelevant in the
scheme of things. Maybe a million or 2 to buy out compared to the cost of the
extension which would probably run to 7 or 8 digits.


Still don't see what you would achieve by extending unless you could get
across the M1 to the main line.

What would be achieved is better tube access for residents of that part of
Mill Hill and easier access to copthall stadium for people who don't live
there.

Anyway , its all moot since it'll never happen. TfL would far rather spend
billions digging new holes in south london (northern & bakerloo extension)
which is already over served with rail transport, than upgrading anything in
north london for a tenth the price. IMO.

Despite the efforts of the SR and its predecessors there are still
assorted holes in the railway coverage of South London.
