:Hammersmith and City from Aldgate East, Piccadilly Line at Acton Town
- Ealing Common (and from Hammersmith occasionally), North London Line
Gunnersbury - Richmond, ECS South West Trains Wimbledon - Putney. I
think that the killer spot would be Aldgate East, arriving early there
would cause the most problems.

So, it would be just too much work and upset for a situation that is going
to be temporary, regardless of the extended length of time it will be out of
service?

I'd say so, trains are unlikely to be able to run past at speed for
all of the closure period, as there will be work on the platforms
towards the end of the rebuild. Of course, there will still be some
extra time, as most of the station stop time is the allowance for
doors opening, passengers getting on/off and doors closing. As
Blackfriars is only 600m from Mansion House and 760m from Temple
(according to Quail), line speeds will not be very high in the area.
