With the new stock and a chance to rearrange fleets (or maybe even
with current fleets), I think a better balance would be to


* keep Hammersmith frequency as it is, sending all round the teacup to
Edgware Road
* send Metropolitans to Barking (there being a better route to there
from Hammersmith)
* extend Wimbles to Aldgate


That could leave all frequencies pretty much as they are, but with
neat termini for everything and all interchanges retained.


If really necessary for serving Westworld, stick in a Hammersmith to
Edgware Road shuttle as well.


Is there the capacity East of Baker Street to accommodate the extra trains
from Wimbledon? I doubt it.


They wouldn't be extra. Now you have Hammersmith, Circle and
Metropolitan. Instead you'd have Teacup, Metropolitan and Wimble.
