11. West Hampstead: Chiltern, Jubilee, Metropolitan, MML, NLL
Things have been proposed at West Hampstead for many years; what
became Thameslink was originally proposed by the GLC as an extension
of Southern Region services to terminate there for interchange with
the other lines. *Quite recently there have been proposals for
platforms on the Chiltern lines, and improved interchange between the
three stations there.
I believe that plan died a few years ago.
That, if true, would be a pity. Chiltern is serving destinations
further from London, and is likely to add more. Marylebone is not the
ideal terminus being served by only one subway line. A call at West
Hampstead would give Chiltern's long distance passengers a range of
options for onward travel to diverse parts of London.
