It certainly is which is good. If Chiltern continues to expand and
improve they will need more space for London bound trains.
Stick another deck on top of Marylebone, in a slightly St Pancras style?
You'd have to lift the roof a bit to fit them in, but not by much. Or you
could build them beyond the end of the shed, in a more St Pancras style.
You'd have to sever Rossmore Road to make this work, but you know,
omelettes, eggs.
Or, of course, you could dive, and build some platforms in tunnel.
At one time I thought a new ariel curve above Neasden to carry
services to Saint Pancras by way of Cricklewood might be an answer.
But St P. is now full.
Paddington is hardly an option. It is also well utilized.
People keep telling me Euston has capacity. Difficult connection to make,
though.
