Looks like a connection to the central line is just waiting to happen.
They even use the same trains!


Making the WandC a branch of the Central would reduce the number of
trains available on the Central Line west of Bank.

A connection might make sence in order to allow WandC trains to reach
a depot. But, it is probably too expensive a solution.


Well, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. But I suspect if the line had been
run by the underground since its inception rather than BR until the 90s then
probably a single line connection would have been built by now to transfer
stock instead of having the faff of craning them in and out when any heavy
overhauls are required.
