If they stayed on the Piccadilly, Victoria, or Northern lines, then
they would miss Farringdon completely. Farringdon isn't much of an
alternative junction for these routes - all you'll cause is even more
traffic on the metropolitan/H+C/Circle line. And if you are going
westwards, then it's in completely the opposite direction.

However, if they stay on their Thameslink train from Stevenage or
King's Lynn, they will be able to change onto Crossrail at Farringdon
and head westwards then.

After having headed eastwards about a mile further than they needed to
go.
