But if you take David's plan and extend the Edgware Road
terminators back to Hammersmith (i.e. Hamm - KX - Vic - Edg Road -
Hammersmith, running in both directions) then you have ...

... confusion! Since your "extension" is actually a reversal, you
effectively have (a) a Hammersmith - Edgware Road shuttle, (b)
Hammersmith - KX - Vic - Edgware Road in both directions. You now
have two services terminating at Edgware Road, which is what David's
plan was trying to avoid.

No, you would have 12-16 trains an hour reversing without waiting.

Ha ha, very funny. :-)

The point is that the recovery time would not be at Edgware Road but at
Hammersmith, Wimbledon and Barking etc.
