Rubbish. The solution to Camden Town's problems is to get more people to
switch to Camden Road. I roughly calculated that the money to be spent
on rebuilding Camden Town station would fund a decent service on the
North London Line every day for about a century.

Do explain. Just how does the NLL help people currently using the Northern
line get to where they want to go? Forty thousand trains to Stratford
doesn't someone wanting to get to Waterloo much good.

Now, if you could wangle some sort of North London Decline out of that
money, so you could take trains off the NLL and into King's Cross, or onto
the Thameslink route, i might agree, but if you're just talking about more
trains to Stratford, then sorry, but what?
