Rubbish. The solution to Camden Town's problems is
to get more people to switch to Camden Road. I roughly
calculated that the money to be spent on rebuilding Camden
Town station would fund a decent service on the North
London Line every day for about a century.

But surely there's only a limited number of routes
for which Camden Road would be a viable alternative?

Yes, but you don't have to remove all the people from Camden Town. A 25%
reduction at the weekend might make the station workable for 20 years or so,
and who knows how unfashonable Camden might be by then.
