Goblin interchanges are difficult because the Goblin carries so little
traffic compared to other lines (**snip**)

The NLL on the other hand is pretty busy and would be even busier with
better interchanges - which is probably precisely why they *aren't*
being built, as the NLL needs a capacity increase first.


And maybe giving the Goblin some new interchanges would encourage people to
use it instead of the NLL. (I'd likee to see a subsurface travelator
connecting Holloway Road to Archway, but it'd never happen!)


Most possible interchanges have a whole host of problems associated with
them, mainly in terms of cost; the most feasible ones are often already
planned and need funding more than anything else, or are being lobbied
for. For example, Park Royal, Shepherd's Bush, Brixton (SLL/ELLX),
Loughborough Junction (SLL/ELLX), Tufnell Park, Brockley.


What about Catford/Catford Bridge? That'd be another useful one, but it'd
never get permission.
