I think the original suggestion was about capacity, not routes. Building
more stations on existing lines can't increase capacity.
There are probably cheaper options than extending the Bakerloo, though.
I can't work out a formula, but it seems to me that if people could
travel more directly to where they wanted to go, spending less time on
the transport networks and travelling a shorter distance, it actually
would increase capacity. Interchanges could make that possible.
