Why are there better connections between Thameslink and the deep-level
lines?

I presume that youe mean why are thet NOT.....

because building an extra 'station' on an already constructed
line cost one shed load of money, and for what, a slightly
shorter walk to a connection?

Just look how long it's taken LU to do the bleeding obvious
and add an exit at the Euston end of Euston Square (about 80
years) for exactly the same benefit and that costs pennies
compared to the cost of a full set of platforms

The most obvious example is a new station on the Central Line
where it passes underneath the line, with the possible closure of
either St. Paul's or (less likely) Chancery Lane. Does the Central
Line lie at an inconvenient distance for Farringdon (too close for a
discrete station, too long for an interchange)?

A unified station at Elephant & Castle would also be a huge benefit,
especially as changing trains is a time-consuming and intimidating
process for many.
