The omissions are more interesting.
West Hampstead Met Interchange
A West Hampstead Chiltern interchange might be more interesting

I think that's part of the plan for the Met interchange. Might simply
be 'not interesting enough' to put on the map.

Crazy ideas I'd like to have seen, but there always was No Chance:

Morden Road interchange for Tramlink and Northern line.
South Hampstead interchange for Chiltern Line.
Colindeep Lane interchange between Thameslink and Northern Line.

Yes, these are always No Chance ones -- if you're going to dig out new
stations in deep tunnels you have to have a VERY good reason.

Extension of DLR from Lewisham to Hayes and Beckenham Jn.

Not going to happen. The commuters out there won't stand for switching
from real trains to 'toy trains' (and losing their non-stop services
from Ladywell to London Bridge in the peak) and it isn't anywhere near
compelling enough. If they got the Bakerloo or something out to
Lewisham, then they might convert, but I still think it would be
unlikely. I'm wondering if a Bakerloo conversion to Beckenham Junction
plus a Tramlink conversion of New Beckenham to Hayes (with Elmers End
as a triangular station) might fly. Doubt it though.

Extension of Northern line to Morden South.

Interesting idea, but I don't see enough merit. Could happen, I guess,
if they were to radically revamp the Wall of Death.

Brixton interchange on South (or East?) London Line.
Re-open Primrose Hill line to take ELLE to Kilburn.

These two are no-brainers and ought to happen. I'd take ELLE through
to Willesden Junction though. On the other hand, there may well be
constraints on the flat junction at Camden Road, and if they have to
build a flyover or something, it's probably a non-starter given
property prices and the like
