Are there any plans for some sort of regular scheduled service from the
NLL, say to Queens Park?

There were (to Watford/Harrow/Willesden depending on which bit of
official kite-flying was current) as a replacement for the DC line
service to Euston but that seems to have been dropped now. Queens Park
would probably not be a suitable location for reversing Down trains as
would not be Willesden if the bay platforms remained at 3 coaches long
when NLL trains were gaining a 4th coach. Re-opening Primrose Hill
would have more chance of success if it became twinned with Chalk Farm
as a two-location interchange but that would not make it a
like-for-like replacement for DC services to Euston.

The DC line was diverted via the Primrose Hill link to Camden Road and
onto the NLL to Stratford between 1 September and 16 November 2008 -
see this PDF of a leaflet from the time:

This was because work was taking place on the Hampstead tunnel to
enlarge it for freight trains with larger containers - this entailed
closing the NLL between Gospel Oak and Willesden Jn. The map in the
above leaflet illustrates the changes.
