OTOH, there are serious Cons:
The Hammersmith Branch would have to be re-electrified and probably
re-signalled. At the very least track circuit immunization would have
to change. One the S7 Stock Depots is at Hammersmith, that depot
capacity would have to be provided elsewhere.

Hammersmith is no longer a depot as such. It's just a stabling point.

We have to take trains from Ealing Common to Edgware Road for H&C
services now.

In service, I hope. Does "We" mean District drivers? i.e. The District
drivers have to take the trains from the depot to Edgware Road, hand
them over to Circle & Hammersmith drivers and then go back to Ealing on
the cushions?
