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?

By removing from the Northern Line station all the people who want to go
to Wood Green, Seven Sisters, Wembley, etc, and who would use the North
London Line if only it were not so infrequent and lacking in quality
interchanges.

Ah, i see. That does make quite a lot of sense. Sorry i ever doubted you!

Hang on, though: if the station was actually busy, where would the dealers
sell their smack? You have to think about the knock-on effects!
