Does the Central Line lie at an inconvenient
distance for Farringdon (too close for a
discrete station, too long for an interchange)?

The Central Line is nowhere near Farringdon, but it passes within yards of
City Thameslink. The platforms at St Pauls run westward from the station
entrance, so I am guessing that a direct subterranean passage from the west
end of St Pauls platforms to the middle of City Thameslink should be about
the same length as the long passage at Leicester Square (the one from the
north end of the Northern Line platforms to the east end of the Picc
platforms.
