Default Trafalgar Square and Strand Stations

Now that the Jubilee Line no longer serves the complex

Is there any truth that they are going to be reseparated
back into two stations (with or without an interchange) ?


I've not heard anything official, but personally this is one fairly
simple change I'd like to see. I think it makes a great deal of sense
to have a "Trafalgar Square" station (think of the tourists) - plus
showing an interchange here is not particularly helpful, especially if
coming from the Bakerloo side of things.


On line diagrams inside Bakerloo and Northern line trains it is not
shown as an interchange:

Although it _does_ on platform maps, pocket diagrams, etc., so many
people will have made the decision to interchange there before they
even see the in-car diagram.
