I can't see any use for them now - you'd need more platforms at
Marylebone and a way of four tracking at least to Neasden.


Yes.

Completely random question, but where do the Chiltern and Metropolitan
alignments separate?


The GCML runs to the side of, but out of site, Finchley Road Station.
At Swiss Cottage it is some distance from the Met. At that point The
Met. and Bakerloo are under Finchley Road. The GC emerges to bridge
the WCML.

At the Regent's Canal they are again next to each other. The Met.
turns slightly east on its approach to Baker Street Station on
Marylebone Rd.

Not really... there is a street (Canfield Place) between them.

It's not that much of a street, being only a couple of dozen or so
buildings filling the gap between Finchley Road station and the
cutting on the GC line. For practical purposes the lines are still
alongside each other as can be seen on a map or aerial photograph.

Thank you for correcting me. I have only ever observed this section
from the train.
