The Ongar branch is the same kind of completely different closure as the
'Aldwych Branch'. There's no synergy whatsoever with closing just one
intermediate station on a line that's still operating fully.

The synergy is that they could have slipped it in to the closures list
had they really wanted to close it. But they didn't.

You'll need to cite rather more about the process of closures to make
that opinion stick.
