The other flaw in the main arguments are a "through service", a
"through service" to what exactly? Camden? Change. Bank? Change.
Euston? Change.

The current through service is to Morden or Kennington.

The notion of reducing train lengths incidentally to save costs is
ridiculous in this instance because there would have to be customised
rolling stock for a branch line.

No, there wouldn't. The Northern Line trains are 3-car units, coupled in
pairs to make 6-car trains. You could run a single unit as the shuttle.

This whole thing is *just* like the Chesham branch: shuttle off-peak,
through trains in the peak, shuttle being a single unit and all other
trains on the line being pairs.

Although the Northern Line trains are made up of two 3-car units, they do
not have cabs at both ends so it would not be possible to run a 3 car train
of 95 stock.
