I wouldn't hold your breath. This is the same overground that happily
bypasses the piccadilly and both branches of the northern line london
without
an interchange making it essentially useless as an outer circle line for
most
of north london unless you fancy a nice hike between stations.


What is it that you expect them to do?

whilst building a new surface station isn't going to be too difficult a new
underground station on a running line, is.

The latter might cost up up to a billion pounds.

I suggest that there are better uses for such sums of money
