Has this ever been considered? Trains could run from

Would there be enough C stock trains to do this? Probably have to
terminate some at Edgware Road.

I think it would be a good idea for the wimbleware branch to be shown
as a seperate line on the diagrams in the same way the H&C was hived
off from the Met years ago. Using D stock its not possible to have a
through route to Edgware road therefor that branch shouldn't be part
of the District line. Having it shown as a seperate line would make it
less confusing for all IMO though god knows what colour is left that
they could use.

I've noticed that for the last year or so the Olympia line has finally
been taken off the internal diagrams in the C stock, which never went
there as far as I know.

But it may be the D stock going to Olympia that makes it difficult to
separate (although why shouldn't C stock go there anyway I wonder?).

I am not sure what the original poster meant by spare D stock.

In the meantime, I notice that the East London Line has gone from the
diagrams in the double-ended A stock units, but the window stickers
seem to be a bit more tenacious.
