But my point was about people who were going from Kings Cross to the
central line or vice versa. They will still do this, because to
interchange onto Crossrail instead of the central line will mean they
have to leave Oxford Circus/Holborn, wander down the rush-hour
pedestrian traffic filled road a bit, then get back underground onto
the Crossrail platforms; something they won't bother to do. Meaning
that the central line is still crushed, and Oxford Circus and Holborn
are still nightmares in the morning.

True, the interchange traffic will still be there, but hopefully a
large number of Essex/West London commuters who work in the West End
will switch to using the entirely separate Crossrail stations and
never go near the Central Line or Oxford Circus.

(also, it seems to me arriving from the King's Cross direction there
are very few destinations that can't be better reached some other way)

Wouldn't they be using the Jubilee line from Stratford if they were in
Essex? And the Bakerloo, Metropolitan, or Picadilly if they were in
west London?
