Imagine what London would be like with the majority of the lines in the centre being on elevated tracks instead of underground

South of the Thames has a fair bit of elevated rail.
Even zone one does for the normal rail system, but I was imagining what it would be like with the deep lines elevated.
The first thing that sprang to mind was the movie Metropolis.
Also, Wuppertal.
A previously beautiful city, now ruined by train tracks everywhere?
Paris has line 6 crossing it entirely and running right next to some very touristy places and it’s overall beautiful. Aerial lines don’t have to be eyesore.
Tokyo has tons of above ground tracks and it’s fine. One big problem in american cities is that train tracks are built too high off the ground and aren’t human scale.
You’re 140 years too late.
