There's nowhere else nearby to build platforms, so it'd have to stay
where it is. But really it just needs the platform resurfacing, a
replacement canopy, and stairs up to street level, either repossessing
and refurbishing the original building or maybe putting in new access
at the Roundhouse end, which would be marginally closer to Chalk Farm
station.

One wonders how practical it would be to extend the subsurface passage
at Chalk Farm and access the Primrose Hill platform from below. IIRC
the passageway is on the south side of Haverstock Hill/Chalk Farm Road.
