Were the line split, one presumes that the Charing Cross branch would
be permenently wed to one of the Edgware and Barnet branches, and the
Bank branch wedded to the other one. The station would then
automatically become one that provided a cross-platform interchange
between two north/south lines, much like Finsbury Park. No tunnelling
needed.

Although the present passageway layout wouldn't be able to handle the
amount of interchange traffic that would result. This is one of the main
reasons why the line hasn't been split, and the reason LU have been
pushing their Camden redevelopment masterplan.

Wonder what they'd call the lines?

Charing Cross line and Bank line, perhaps. Dull, but consistent with what
we have now. Or perhaps something like the Northern Line for the CX bit,
and the City line for the Bank bit; you might then want to rename the W&C,
though. Hmm - Northern Line and Southern Line?

I like Alex's suggestion of the Eden line - although since it would run
through such places as Balham and Tooting, i fear it could lead to LU
being sued under the trade descriptions act!
