At one point the Met. considered building a mainline size tube to
link their "Main Line" to Edgware Road Station.

To join up with the Circle heading west, you mean? Or as a
terminus? Neither of those sound like brilliant ideas to me, i have
to say!

To join up with the Circle line heading East, actually. The
layout at Edgware Road was rebuilt with that link in mind and is
still that way today.


Was this before the link to Baker Street, or the link from the
platforms there to the Circle, went in, or am i missing something?


Before the Bakerloo extension to Stanmore.


I don't get it then. This link would have allowed trains to do Finchley
Road - Edgware Road - Aldgate? While they could already do Finchley Road
- Baker Street - Aldgate? Would the second link somehow have increased
capacity and allowed both Metroland and Stanmore trains to run to Aldgate?
Or was the idea to run Metroland trains to the City via Edgware Road, and
use all the Baker Street platforms to terminate Stanmore trains?
