The walk from Holborn to Aldwych is not so short.

Temple is nearer, is it not?

It is, but not a very useful place to start a journey to (say) Kings
Cross.

The Alwych branch could be extended to become a very useful line. A
short extension to southwards to Temple and Waterloo, plus an
extension northwards to Kings Cross and a depot would fill a missing
link in the Underground system (Kings Cross/Saint Pancrass to
Waterloo).
