The Metropolitan Line has unused platforms at Swiss Cottage
station,
so the line should probably run closer to or through the station.

It's not really the same station. Just another one with the same
name.

Have you been there, Clive? The Met platforms are just behind a
locked door which you pass on your way from the Jubilee platforms
to the street.

Whilst on the subject of Swiss Cottage, ten years ago I wrote to
Metropolitan Line HQ asking whether a group of enthusiasts could be
allowed to travel on a "rusty rail" empty working which
traverses/traversed the crossover there. They not only agreed but
also added a visit to the control room at Baker Street and also
allowed us to ride during a shunt move at Harrow-on-the-Hill and, at
the end of the trip, during various unusual moves ending up at
Wembley Park platform 6. (2nd August 1997.) A very impressive
response: I doubt whether it would happen today.
