More trains and less delays will ease congestion, making this worth
the effort, I think. And there is quite a good chance you will get a

be getting off and changing for the other line, too.
If you arrive at Camden Town on a crush loaded train do you really
think you will be able to change to a train that is not crush loaded?
So if you had a seat before you won't in future in the peak hour.
That is a bizarre thing to say about a plan to increase the number of seats
per hour.
The people who work at Kings Cross and go home to Edgware will have a seat
after Camden, whereas now they have to stand most of the way home.
I suspect the greatly increased dwell times at Camden Town might reduce
significantly the number of trains that can use the lines.
A passenger injury or two on changing trains would make staff very wary
about hurrying.
