But York Road would be well patronised if it did reopen. However, much of

Here's TfL's feasibility study into reopening York Road:

The resulting business case was described as 'extremely poor'.

That appears to be from 2004, approximately 11 years ago. I wonder if
LUL would at this time consider a re-evaluation, especially considering
that they plan to introduce driverless drains, which would use
moving-block signalling.
