Were Railtrack really able to make a permanent decision back then that there

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?

As far as I can see, they emerge from tunnel under Lodge Road, then
cross the canal on separate, slightly diverging bridges, and then go
either side of buildings south of the canal.

Okay. So there's a separate tunnel for the Met, next to the three-bore GC
tunnel? That's a lot of tunnels.

Indeed so, and don't forget the Bakerloo down below.

Indeed!

At one point the Met. considered building a mainline size tube to link
their "Main Line" to Edgware Road Station.

To join up with the Circle heading west, you mean? Or as a terminus?
Neither of those sound like brilliant ideas to me, i have to say!

Edwarr Road would have function much like Baker Street, but in the
opposite direction. No, it was not a brilliant idea. When LPTB took
over they extended the Bakerloo (now Jubilee) instead.

And for many years, the train describers at Edgware Road had such exotic
destinations as Aylesbury on them.
