Apart from providing easier access to the Vic & Albert, it could also
relieve both Knightsbridge and South Ken stations which get very
crowded particularly during holidays and sale times.

I'm not convinced that Cottage Place (site of the old Brompton Road
station) is significantly closer to the main entrance of the V&A than
South Ken. It could even be fractionally further. These days many people
use the Exhibition Road entrance, which is much nearer South Ken
(especially when using the direct foot tunnel).

There's also the problem that there were never escalator shafts at
Brompton Road - it was just lifts.
