I would expect the ex-District passengers to walk to High Street
Kensington or Earls Court, or get a bus. The West London Line goes in a
completely different direction so would see very little extra traffic,
if any.


West Ken's closest to Olympia actually - half a mile up North End road.

However, people like to get a train (of some description) right to venues
such as this, so I disagree with your notion - indeed, I don't think the
(weekday) District line Olympia service would be being withdrawn were it not
for the upcoming increase in the London Overground WLL service to an every
15 min frequency. Those coming from central London can change at West
Brompton or (a bit less conveniently at) Shepherd's Bush. Though yes, I'd
walk!
