Huh, I thought one *line* would run from Edgware to Morden, and
another from High Barnet to Kennington?

In any case, I hope that the line that will run to Kennington will
keep the name Northern ;-)

... and one of the lines will need a new name, and map colour.

Or an old name: City & South London?

City & South London

Makes sense!

"It is a cover for reducing the service. The service was run
like this in the past and they changed it to increase trains. Why
would it work the other way round?"

3) unless he means Yerkes' amalgamation of the C&SLR and the CCE&HR in
1924, which may be a little long ago to be representative, there is no
occasion when "the service was run like this in the past and they
changed it to increase trains".

Even so, the pre-amalgamation service wasn't two separate routes as
being proposed, but both branches feeding the CX route and neither
feeding the Bank route! So I don't think it's *ever* been run like that
except as an emergency measure.
