OTOH, there are serious Cons:
The Hammersmith Branch would have to be re-electrified and probably
re-signalled. At the very least track circuit immunization would have
to change. One the S7 Stock Depots is at Hammersmith, that depot
capacity would have to be provided elsewhere.

Hammersmith is no longer a depot as such. It's just a stabling point.

That seems a waste of a very large facility. Why?

Isn't the shed at Hammersmith now too short ? S stock isn't designed
for conveniently splitting and shunting like older stock.
