Default Routes in london crossing without any interchange

"I can think of many:


1) Central Line & Metropolitan line at Ruislip. Both cross each other
yet no interchange. However a track does connect both lines. VERY long
walk at any nearest station to get from one line to the other.


2) Central Line & Piccadilly line at Park Royal. There is no station on

the central line at Park Royal despite it running under the piccadilly
line next to Park Royal station. There is now a new business park next
to the central line tracks in this area so a station wouldn't be
lightly used!


3) Central Line & Silverlink Metro at North Acton. There are no
silverlink platforms at North Acton despite it crossing the central
line here. One has to walk for 20 minutes to get to Willesden Junction
to board a silverlink train.


4) Central Line & Hammersmith + City line at Shepherds Bush. Although
White City is served by the Central line, it is not served by H&C
despite the tracks running right over the station!
Again, one must walk quite a long way for a train.


I can't think of any others yet. But have there been or are there any
plans for any of the above to be rectified?


Thanks"


The Metropolitan Line crosses Silverlink Metro close to Northwick Park
and Kenton.
