The problem wit the old station was inadequate platform widths (and

It's true that in rush hours it used to get rather overcrowded, though I
don't ever recall it being dangerously so. But if reopened it would
essentially only serve those wanting to change to Vic and Picc lines,
and perhaps a very few wanting to reach the Pentonville Road, not those
wanting the main line stations so it would surely be less than half as
popular. As for 12-coach trains, well selective door opening works on
other lines at short platforms.
