The new pedestrian link between Hackney Central and Hackney Downs is
apparently due to open for passenger use tomorrow (22/7).

Now West Hampstead needs to be made into a proper interchange.


Perhaps, but it probably won't include the Met and Chiltern lines.


Yeah... look how far the Chiltern line is from West Hampstead ;-)

It does not even have the elegance of Beck's work. Ughh.

Moving the Jubilee Line platforms west of West End Lane and adding
adjacent Chiltern platforms would enable easy integration with the
Overground station.

Thameslink is more problematic. However, IMHO, the area is ripe for
redevelopment, and the location is perfect for a TOD. Including easy
interchange would then be straightforward. Moreover, there would be
gains in terms of housing, retail, and office space.
