Yeah I get you.
It's very tempting if you're enthusiastic about the Underground, or transit in general to see a good thing and add to it. I understand the W&C is the way it is for good reasons. Extending from Bank north runs into other tunnels/ BoE vaults. Extending south from Waterloo puts more bodies onto trains that need the capacity from Waterloo. Widening tunnels and extending platforms needs tunnelling and costs £££.
But it does make me wonder how the new 2024 stock will fit, the W&C uses half length trains. I guess they either extend the platforms or take IM & KM sections out to make the new trains fit.
