Well there is that. But the jubilee, bakerloo, victoria & W&C are just
there and back lines

They aren't completely. Not all trains go all the way every trip and
the H&C has to dovetail into the Met, District and Circle lines.

Last time I checked the W&C and the H&C were different beasties.

So they are but then pausing at intermediate stops doesn't happen on
the W&C.

A pity really. It could do with a station at Blackfriars.

A station at Blackfriars, and a short extension to Liverpool Street,
would make the Waterloo and City into a very useful line.

It isn't going to happen, the line isn't deep enough and there's
consequently too much in the way. The line also leaks like a sieve.
You're possibly more likely to have abandonment consequent to new work
providing a better parallel replacement (but certainly not this week).

In its
present form it is something of an orphan.
