Linking Chalk Farm and Primrose Hill stations seems eminently sensible.
One of them should be renamed. I am not entirely sure which name is
the most geographically
accurate.

Primrose Hill station was named Hampstead Road when it opened in 1851. It
was renamed Chalk Farm in1862, and only became Primrose Hill in 1950.

So a linked station for both TfL Northine Line and Tfl Orbital services
called Chalk Farm would be both useful and in keeping with the history
of the stations.
