Whilst I am also of the opinion that Chiltern platforms at WH would be worth the cost, far more useful I suspect would be a rebuild for Met platforms (I'm thinking islands as at WP & FR), with the current ones at FR skipped.. The Met stopping at FR can only interchange with the Jubilee...but interchanging at WH....much more useful. On their own, Chiltern platforms probably don't stack up....but adding in an island for Chiltern whilst doing the rebuild for the Met kinda makes sense...


But is there enough room to do this? IIRC the line (GC, Met, Jubilee)
is in something of a cutting at this point.
